I would strongly suggest that if you have not done so already you hire someone competent to do an analysis of whether or not your idea makes sense at all; that you are using merge-mining is a red-flag because without majority, or at least near-majority, hashing power an attacker can 51% attack your altcoin at negligible cost by re-using existing hashing power. If you are starting a timestamping service that may be an exception, but how to turn a profit doing so is non-obvious. I would offer that consulting myself, but it would likely be a conflict of interest with my employers. I'd be happy to speak informally in private, but am explicitly unwilling to agree to any non-compete/non-disclosure terms. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000f9102d27cfd61ea9e8bb324593593ca3ce6ba53153ff251b3
