It's not a surprise at all that Dogecoin is going to enable merged mining. The developer knows that Dogecoin will get slaughtered (just like Feathercoin) if he doesn't implement it.
The best part is that he refuses to call it merged mining.
I was wondering what AuxPoW means. So AuxPoW = merged mining?
I think merged mining would mean dogecoin miners would also be forced to mine litecoins. AuxPoW on the other hand would allow dogecoin miners to still mine at their current pools directly to the Dogecoin network.
That's wrong.
