Sounds like merged mining would be a good idea.
That way you can go ahead and mine litecoin or whatever but still also be applying that same hashing power to this coin.
Your supporters thus won't have to choose between mining for profit and mining to support this coin, they can mine whatever scrypt coin they like for profit but also merge in this coin to support this coin.

merged mining devalues the coin to 0.
if it has a purpose other than value, then that's great. this is why merging BTC and NMC is great: it keeps the NMC service alive.
ELC has no internal function other than value store, so merge mining it with LTC does nothing but devalue it.
no point. not a good idea.
coin isnt dead, seems to still be trading. work is being done on it.
That is ridiculous, if the purpose is to store value then creating yet another insecure crapcoin/scamcoin is totally antithetical to the purpose.
What we tend to actually see in practice is that the purpose is to scam people out of value, which value is then stored in bitcoins, litecoins, fiat, or pretty much anything other than the scamcoin itself.
