### Merge mining
Merge mining will be available in P2Pool after the fork on October 12th, 2024. Version 4.0 or newer is required to use it.
- Blockchains that will support [Merge mining RPC API](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/blob/master/docs/MERGE_MINING.MD#proposed-rpc-api)
- [Townforge](https://townforge.net/) supports it in their [tmp-mm branch](https://git.townforge.net/townforge/townforge/src/branch/tmp-mm) (not released yet)
- [DarkFi](https://dark.fi/) is going to support it, but it's [not ready yet](https://github.com/darkrenaissance/darkfi/issues/244)
```
p2pool.exe --wallet YOUR_MONERO_WALLET_ADDRESS --merge-mine IP:port YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS_ON_ANOTHER_BLOCKCHAIN
```
- [Tari](https://www.tari.com/) uses their own gRPC API and requires a different command line:
```
p2pool.exe --wallet YOUR_MONERO_WALLET_ADDRESS --merge-mine tari://IP:port TARI_WALLET_ADDRESS
```
Merge mining is available for testing in Tari's [v1.0.0-pre.14 release](https://github.com/tari-project/tari/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre.14) (Esmeralda testnet).
