The Future of Dual Chains and Merged Mining: A Theoretical Discussion

The development of blockchain technology has made merged mining a key solution for smaller cryptocurrencies to sustain their networks. Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) already share the Scrypt algorithm to enable merged mining, with Infinitecoin (IFC) also integrated. This model could evolve into a “one-chain” future or even a “two-chain coexistence” model.

1. Technical Feasibility of Merged Mining

Merged mining allows multiple blockchains to share the same proof-of-work (PoW) system through Auxiliary Proof of Work (AuxPoW):
   •   Bitcoin and Litecoin: Currently, the incompatible algorithms (SHA-256 vs. Scrypt) prevent direct merged mining. However, algorithm adjustments or multi-algorithm compatibility could make this technically feasible.
   •   Infinitecoin as a Pioneer: Smaller coins like IFC use merged mining to enhance network security, setting a precedent for larger coins like LTC.

2. Economic Drivers and Network Security

Small cryptocurrencies face challenges in maintaining nodes and hashrates:
   •   Insufficient Transaction Fees: Reliance solely on fees cannot sustain miners, leading to weaker networks.
   •   Need for Merged Mining: Sharing mining resources reduces costs for miners and strengthens smaller networks’ defenses against attacks.

In the future, as LTC mining rewards deplete (similar to BTC’s eventual state), merged mining may become essential to sustain its network and incentivize miners.

3. From “One Chain” to “Two Chains”

If blockchain networks consolidate into fewer core chains:
   •   Single-Chain Model (“One Chain”): Consolidating all mining resources into a single chain for maximum efficiency and security.
   •   Dual-Chain Model (“Two Chains”): Two key chains might dominate—Bitcoin as a store of value and Litecoin-based chains for payments and applications. Competition between two chains could ensure vitality in the ecosystem.

4. Infinitecoin’s Experimental Significance

Infinitecoin’s merged mining with LTC serves as an “early adopter” example:
   •   Compromise and Innovation: IFC integrates into the LTC ecosystem, ensuring survival while paving the way for future “one-chain” models.
   •   Fixed Block Rewards: Like DOGE, IFC’s fixed block rewards could secure long-term miner profitability and network stability.

5. Decades-Long Outlook

The evolution of blockchain mining may unfold in three stages:
   1.   Widespread Merged Mining: More cryptocurrencies adopt merged mining to survive.
   2.   Optimized Economic Models: Fixed rewards and fee structures improve miner incentives.
   3.   Global Integration: Mining resources consolidate into a few efficient blockchains.

Conclusion

Merged mining is a necessary strategy for small cryptocurrencies to overcome technical and economic challenges. Current models, like those of Infinitecoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin, offer a clear vision for the future. As mining rewards diminish, the “one-chain” or “two-chain” structure may become the ultimate solution, ensuring a unified and efficient global blockchain ecosystem.

万链归二与联合挖矿的未来:理论探讨

区块链技术的发展使得联合挖矿(Merged Mining)逐渐成为解决小币种生存和网络安全的重要方案。当前,莱特币(Litecoin)与狗狗币(Dogecoin)已经通过共享 Scrypt 算法实现了联合挖矿,而无限币(Infinitecoin)也融入其中。未来,这一模式可能进一步扩展,形成所谓的“万链归一”格局,甚至演变为“两链共存”。

1. 联合挖矿的技术可行性

联合挖矿通过辅助证明机制(Auxiliary Proof of Work, AuxPoW)允许多个区块链网络共享同一工作量证明:
   •   比特币与莱特币:目前因算法不兼容(SHA-256 vs. Scrypt),直接联合挖矿不可行。但如果调整莱特币算法或采用多算法挖矿,这种联合在技术上是可能实现的。
   •   无限币作为先行者:无限币等小币种采用联合挖矿以提升网络安全,这为未来的大币种(如莱特币)的联合挖矿提供了可行性验证。

2. 经济驱动与网络安全

当前,小币种难以单独维持节点和算力,原因在于:
   •   交易费用不足:仅靠交易费用难以支付矿工奖励,导致网络节点减少,安全性下降。
   •   联合挖矿的必要性:通过共享算力,既降低矿工运营成本,又增强小币种网络的抗攻击能力。

未来,当莱特币挖矿奖励耗尽后(类似比特币最终状态),联合挖矿或成为唯一选择,以维持网络安全和矿工激励。

3. 从“万链归一”到“万链归二”

假设全球区块链逐步整合为少数基础链:
   •   单链模式(万链归一):所有挖矿资源集中到一条链,形成高效、安全的全球区块链网络。
   •   双链模式(万链归二):两个链条分别主导不同的经济活动,一个是比特币(价值储存与交易),另一个是莱特系(支付和应用)。双链模式维持一定竞争,保证生态活力。

4. 无限币的实验性意义

无限币当前与莱特币联合挖矿,是一次典型的“先行先试”:
   •   妥协与创新:无限币通过放弃独立算力整合到莱特系,保障自身网络生存,并为未来的“万链归一”提供范例。
   •   固定出块奖励的优势:类似狗狗币固定奖励的机制,无限币未来也可能通过这一方式保证长期挖矿利润,吸引矿工持续参与。

5. 数十年的展望

未来的区块链挖矿趋势可以分为以下阶段:
   1.   联合挖矿普及化:更多币种通过联合挖矿实现生存。
   2.   经济模型优化:小币种通过固定奖励、交易费用等模型吸引矿工。
   3.   全球整合:最终挖矿资源整合到少数链条,形成高效的全球区块链基础设施。

总结

联合挖矿是小币种应对竞争和技术挑战的必然选择。无限币、莱特币和狗狗币的现有模式为未来提供了清晰方向。当挖矿利润枯竭时,“万链归一”或“万链归二”的格局将成为终极形态,推动全球区块链网络走向统一与高效。
