inkan

Huh, so it's starting to sound like inkan would likely run on rootstock. One question then is whether that would be advantageous as compared to ethereum. I need to better understand what merge mining ...
I don't know about the actual implementation of Rootstock Merge Mining, but it was hardened to count in the event of a reorganisation. Rootstock uses verified HSM hardware on the pool mining nodes, which verifies when BTC pegs out and pegs in.
The last update I did was when the protocol maintainer said about using and implementing bitVM2 to harden the pegs out.
Miners are incentivised to merge mine because they receive rewards on both the BTC main chain and the Rootstock merge mining chain. This means that, by simply installing a verified Rootstock node, they receive rewards on both chains.
