The block times doesn't matter for merge mining.

A coin with a 10 minute block time can merge mine with a coin with a 1 minute block time.


so zet can merge and doesn't need change? This would be great news for both coins, wouldn't it?

Yes, the parameters doesn't need to change, but one of the coins must implement AuxPow.

If a coin has AuxPow it can merge mine with other coins that doesn't have AuxPow.


the one with Auxpow will get a large blockchain, correct?

Is there an estimate how big the bloat would potentially be?



Both coins get some extra data in their block chain. For the non-AuxPow coin it is a hash and for the AuxPow coin it is a block header and a hash. These aren't big chunks of data, probably not more data than an average transaction.
