Dogecoin co-founder opposes ending merged mining, calling it pointless amid network debate.

Billy Markus, Dogecoin's co-founder, has publicly opposed proposals to end Dogecoin's merged mining with Litecoin, calling such a move "dumb and pointless." Merged mining allows Litecoin miners to secure both networks simultaneously without dividing computing power, supporting Dogecoin's network security economically. The debate arises from concerns about Dogecoin's dependence on Litecoin's mining activity, but no formal decision has been made. Meanwhile, Dogecoin's price shows signs of short-term recovery with technical buy signals and increased whale accumulation, though longer-term trends remain uncertain.
