I've gotten an e-mail from a group of people here in Québec interested in supporting QBC in various ways. One way they proposed was a QBC multipool similar to blackcoin. Of course the multipool concept works best for POS coins but if it can be created in a specific way, it may still allow good network security for POW coins. The problem is that the multipool can end up giving better results for getting QBC than regular mining at a certain point, miners may abandon mining the real coin in favor of the easiest altcoin chosen by the multipool. This means that the security of the network decreases as hashing power is reduced. One possible way to make it work could be that the multipool also mines the coin it is designed for when network hashrate falls beyond a certain threshold, without actually selling it. It's a difficult balance to obtain but could prove to be a way of stabilizing the value of the coin long term.
