What coin were you guys thinking about? BTC? If say, we decided to merge mine with a coin and it failed would we have to hard fork again to switch to another merge mined coin?
When a coin is merge minable, the user can choose almost any SHA256 coin to mine it with, not just BTC. So no, if any coin fails it makes no difference to TRC.
I think I must have been reading about something else, because merge mining sound incredibly awesome. I will add it to the list of things we want for the next TRC wallet.
I will be updating the OP with this info and a few other things either later tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for the info!
