Sir, your assumption is wrong, I never proposed merged mining, I didn't even mention a merge.
The hand in hand + quote is symbolism for the cryptocommunity as a whole, let's spend less time bitching on other coins (lot's of energy wasted = divided we fall) and more time improving these beautiful coins and the cryptocommunity as a whole. (united we stand).
I especially liked the picture because it features the most awesome 2 coins backed by the most amazing communities.

Did we read the same post?
The DOGE dev didn't want to work with LTC (no merged mining)
Here is the probably response to Blackcoin:

Isn't Blackcoin PoS? How would they benefit from merging?
I think the handshake is meant as a sign of unity over rivalry in the cryptocurrency economy 
(great picture though

)
+1 Thanks
