I don't think merged mining is the solution for the following reasons:
- it's still the same old PoW: biggest rigs control majority of coins
- it is not ASIC proof, hence the above
- dumpers are still going to dump, price is, unfortunately, a measurement of success
- playing devil's advocate: getting something for free does not mean I will support the coin. It's a bonus to sell to the market and I bet that multipools will implement this very quickly and the majority of coins mined will be dumped (at least currently despite lower hash rate we have supporters holding majority of newly mined coins
Here is the only thing that's positive: we "may" get more people with PND wallet, but that doesn't mean they will keep a balance in the wallet.
For all the above, I believe PoS is the future and generosity from existing holders to distribute coins through marketing, faucets, bounties, donations etc are the way to go.
We need to focus on slowly raising the PND value, the community, awareness, and ecosystem to move this coin forward.
If they want to support, mining at our multipool, visit a faucet, do something positive to claim the bounty, or buy from the exchange are still viable ways to get involved. Or, provide a service or sell some goods to get your PND.
I share very similar views as you, so thanks for putting it out there.
This coin also has something which most of the other POS + Multipools coins don't have - which is a specific targeted niche market to be used as a currency (reflected through the high coin cap @ 100 billion) and a targeted region which is SE Asia. The only semi comparable coin is Asiacoin if we do head towards the POS route, but I firmly believe our coin has superior marketing fundamentals and we wouldn't be crowded amongst the 'country coins' fads which have been propping up left right and center as of late.
