Always amusing to watch non tech people shrink down the tech part down to the smallest possible part to maximize putting in what their expertise allows. It’s normal when we are talking about normal business. It’s amusing when it’s about technology in the first place.

1. Is it even possible to merge the two code bases? If not, then all you are doing is killing two projects and creating a new one off a compromise of the features of both coins.

The only way it’s a merger is for one project to die and “join” the other. But…

2. Does either coin rules allow just issuing a bunch of tokens? I thought the whole idea with crypto in general is to not just create money out of thin air. I’m pretty sure the code doesn’t allow for that. You can always fork and code it in, but your original coin holders aren’t going to like it and stay on the old code (hi etherium classic)

And in any case, by and large, coin holders of minor alt coins are there because they care about the trivial differences of their particular coin of choice. Merging any two isn’t going to play well with them.

But hey, fat fees for the so called “crypto M&A expert” who will advise the projects about it. Nice niche my friend. Lambo is as good as in the garage!!
