I too am a GRS fan but unable to mine these days due to the loss of profit. I hold about 100k for future investment but have moved on to mine more profitable coins to pay the bills. I think a merged mine option would be HUGE for any coin that comes on board. I have focused on a merged mining solution that actually has 3 coins together (won't mention the names out of respect for the GRS thread) but would kill to be able to come back to GRS with the low power Alg. What is keeping a startup from coming along and using the GRS alg and releasing 3 or 4 new coins at once that share the same blockchain as to allow for say quad merged mining? Granted all 4 coins would be new and need to be pitched to the exchanges but isn't that a possible threat? I would like to see GRS set merged mining as a high if not highest priority. That is a move that would make it possible for me to return to mining one of my favorite coins. Until then, unless the price magically runs up I fear that along with many many other small miners I won't be able to mine this great coin. It sucks guys, but in the end 99% of us are in this for the money and will follow that dragon where ever it goes. Merge this coin, which increases profit for miners and you will see more interest. Still love the coin
