Just learning about monero and mining and I had trouble figuring something out. Does mining on nano/mini help secure the main monero blockchain? I thought side chains were kind of their own thing, but, from how people talk about nano/mini it sounds like it supports the network in the same way as mining the main chain. Could someone help explain it to me?

I think I get what you said. I was under the impression mini/nano were side chains rather than just pools for mining the main monero blockchain, but this makes much more sense. They are all mining the main chain and are just mining pools. Thank you!
