How do PoP and PoW Mining Work Together?
While PoW miners compete to create blocks on the security-inheriting blockchain network, PoP miners compete to publish fingerprints of the security-inheriting blockchain in the next block on the security-providing blockchain. PoP is complementary and reinforces any existing consensus protocol.
Additionally, PoP mining can be performed on minimal hardware; it only requires a funded wallet to pay fees on the security-providing blockchain.
PoP Mine VBK
The Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus protocol enables a security-inheriting blockchain (Octalbitmines) to inherit the complete Proof-of-Work of a security-providing blockchain (Bitcoin). Anyone can Proof-of-Proof mine without expensive hardware.
PoP mining is a competitive endeavor in which miners compete to have their endorsement of the Octalbitmines blockchain state included in the earliest possible Bitcoin block.
PoW Mine VBK
The PoW miner helps get the next block added to the Ethertrade blockchain.
Visit the Wiki page, How To PoW Mine Ether, for an in-depth explanation.
You can run the PoW miner as an individual, or connect to a pool.
PoP Mine Altchains
This list will be updated as altcoins adopt Ethertrade PoP Consensus Protocol.
