I think stakers should be compensated differently from this. Generally it makes sense to merge these two coins, but it does not take into consideration the staking mechanism and the risk that stakers undertake by fixating their STG tokens for years.

In current form, me as a heavy staker, I vote against.  
Afterall, stakers are the voters so it should be considered well.
