You don't understand merged mining because you don't understand why mining exists. The point of it is to secure the coin, not make money on a P & D and move onto the next shitcoin.

+1 (couldn't say it better)

I'ts not that I don't understand merged mining I'm just pointing out that there isn't any appeal
in it for miners. For the coin to be secure it has to appeal to a large number of miners or the principals
need to supply enough hash themselves. The merged coins have so little value they can't make it on their
own so they hook up with a larger coin and feed on its appeal.

No actually you don't understand merged mining. Are you saying Namecoin is not secure? Is Doge insecure? Merge mining isn't because coins have so little value, it's to leverage the security of an existing blockchain and reward miners with no effort or any additional costs.

WTF are you talking about? I never said any such thing. I said nothing about the parent coin and rsent you trying
to put words in my mouth. If yo continue to do so I will stop responding to you. Read what I said again in context
to what I was responding to and try a response that makes some sense.

BTW your clains are meaningless. The leech coin's worth is a very small fraction of the value of the host so adds
virtually no value or benefit to the host coin or the miners mining it. I've probably made less than a penny with
unitis in the past year. And what do miners care about "leveraging the security of an existing blockchain".
We just want our coins, as much as we can get, like any other greedy humans.

do we really care about merge mining in anyway Grin
