Proof-of-Work block generation
Emercoin is now merge-mined with Bitcoin using the same SHA-256 Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm. Merge-mining enhances Emercoin's blockchain security model as Emercoin can benefit from mining power directed to the Bitcoin network. Any miner that miner Bitcoin can now also mine Emercoin as well, for little overhead.
