This question has been asked a few times in the BTC talk thread. Some people are in favor, some are against it.
Finally, we have a platform to vote...
Some cons for PoS/Pow hybrid:
•Current stakeholders will likely benefit more than others buying in later on.
•Generation of new coins will speed up than designed
•Questionable long-term sustainability depending on the adoption of the coin.
Some pros for PoS/Pow hybrid:
•You can generate coins also by just running the wallet
•Next to no energy consumption is needed to mint coins, compared to traditional PoW coins making it less of a necessity to dump coin on the market.
Some cons for merged mining:
•Compared to the current model it doesn't seem like there's any real negative.
Some pros for merged mining:
•Groestlcoin and Diamondcoin miners will be able to mine both blockchains at once, essentially meaning free coins apart from the targeted coin.
•Better security for the both blockchains
