Gentlemen, please bring your petty rivalry outside.
No rivalry, just no point in merge mining it with another coin that isn't going to last.
It seems to me like the price drop and the fear about technical aspects of the coin might be a good thing, since it seems to scare traditionnal crypto-speculators who have nothing to bring to Dogecoin other than their hunger for easy profits.
You also think that having no cap is good.
You are part of the problem why BTC isn't flowing into DOGE any more and won't.
