Going to spend some time today on OTC to see how it works and if there is a easy way to make it freicoin friendly and do some tests.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/charlie-lee-proposes-merged-mining-ltcdoge/ I think most of the arguments for Merge mining can be found in the link. Although FRC is different in the Demurrage the fact that it is a BTC derived coin I think most of the arguments are valid. Also given the latest Denial of Service by some group that is hell bent on burying the difficulty so high that it may never be recovered unless it is merged mined with BTC seems to be the plan. I can't see any other way around this. This mine has obviously set their target on FRC and are at regular intervals bumpi

Given Mark and Jorge have hinted at the idea of merge mining before I can't see why it couldn't be implemented in the next version of the client. Changing the filter really is not a viable option I think given that the only reason to change it would be to address the current scenario of wildly fluctuating hash rates. From 200 Th/s to below 1 Th/s and now we have regular adjusted Hashrate inflows on the coin to purposefully increase the difficulty. What we have now have is a Denial of Service attack where instead of forking or 51% attack on the coin these miners are denying transaction

Yes, Bter still online, but i do not know if i still trust them with coins.. Interesting point with OTC..
