==Motivation==
-
Regular "Merged-Mining" (MM) allows miners to reuse their hashing work to secure other chains (for example, as in Namecoin). However, traditional MM has two drawbacks:
# Miners must run a full node of the other chain. (This is because [while miners can effortlessly create the block] miners will not create a valid payment to themselves, unless the block that they MM is a valid one. Therefore, miners must assemble a *valid* block first, then MM it.)

Note: This document uses the notation side:\* and main:\* in front of otherwise-ambiguous words (such as "block", "node", or "chain"), to distinguish the mainchain version from its sidechain counterpart. We also use "Simon" to refer to a Sidechain Full Node, and "Mary" to refer to a mainchain miner.

(As a matter of fact, the only people receiving money here all happen to be miners. So there is less reason than ever to expect compatibility problems.)
