I've implemented merged mining code for BitMonero (I work with thankful_for_today). I see that community is against MM and I will start my own currency based on CryptoNote/BitMonero with merged mining: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/585611.0

That's right. Results will be calculated starting from the moment an explicit voting option will be provided.

As a trader I only support merged mining as if this would increase the amount of coins when there would be rather more people willing to join mining and you and I would have more coins to exchange on BTC.

I see what people are trying to tell here - that there is no reason for doing this, that there is no profit as it's gonna be the same situation (no saving energy, no extra reward) , but if it doesn't heart when why shall be against it?

I would vote for MM ! I encourage you to support MM!

What to do in case I have Linux ? As far as I understood there is no Linux ver which support merged mining, am I right?
I am not a programmer and not capable to create binaries

Let me explain this with a simple example (we consider the blocktime is the same for each chain):

Let's say there is 20 peoples mining with the same hardware
They are mining for the duration of 40 blocks.
So 40 blocks of Bytecoin will be produced (noted : BytecoinB)
So 40 blocks of Monero will be produced (noted : MoneroB)

- Without Merged Mining (current situation):
 10 people are mining Bytecoin
 10 people are mining Monero

 On average, for 40 block in the blockchain, each user will get 4 blocks of the chain he mine (40/10).
 So :
 10 people get 4 BytecoinB
 10 people get 4 MoneroB

- With Merged Mining :
 20 people are merged mining Bytecoin and Monero

 On average, for 40 block in the blockchain, each user will get 2 blocks of each chain (40/20).
 So :
 20 people get 2 BytecoinB
 20 people get 2 MoneroB

- Conlusion :
Without Merged mining, you can chose to have either 4 BytecoinB or 4 MoneroB.
With Merged mining, you will have 2 BytecoinB and 2 MoneroB.

- Side note :
With this example it's easy to understand why (if you are a rational economic agent) you don't have the choice to not do merged mining if its available (you will just lose 2 BytecoinB).

So if you think Bytecoin was ninja mined and you don't want to validate that with your hash power, you better not want merged mining to be implemented in Monero.

I think, it’s a good idea. BCN has fairly stable exchange rate, moreover we solve 2 problems. First is the fear of closed community and the second one is the fear of new coin with untrusted (now) algorithm (MRO has no normal course or clear system of work).

It’s no difference for our computing power to receive MRO or MRO + BCN. Don’t forget, that we are talking about money and this option will brings a real benefit for us. So, why should we abandon this function?

And if the problem is in "policy" and developers disagreements, then why miners have to suffer?

how come BCN has a fairly stable exchange rate? It is not listed anywhere. There are buy orders listed on the thread that noone actually responds. BCN preminers just seem to unloading the premine...

As for the difference read the whole thread. IF we merge mine we MUST also mine BCN. And with all that premine BCN is useless...

I am against merged mining.

Well said brother. This coin has a compelling technology, great name, a clean launch, a strong respect for fairness, and an amazing team of people. The best path forward is to focus on our strengths and not have anything to do with "that other coin" or even mention it, much less merge mine it. Leave the baggage behind.

Everything about this coin is so far superior to the botched effort that came before, it is remarkable we are even having this conversation.
