Jaxx is not the first Bitcoin application shunned from the iOS store, as others including blockchain.info have been removed in the past.

Dogecoin to Merge-Mine with Litecoin

After months of battling a looming low hashrate on the horizon, Dogecoin developers have decided it is in the currency's best interest to merge-mine with Litecoin using Auxillary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW). Technically all Scrypt coins with a higher difficulty than Dogecoin will be merge-mined, but only Litecoin holds that criteria making the verbiage on merge-mining clear. Although many in the Dogecoin community wish to break themselves away from the "merge-mining" verb usage, what's true is true.

Charlie Lee Proposes Merged Mining of Litecoin and Dogecoin

The surprising success of dogecoin has changed the way that miners view the scrypt algorithm. And that's not good for litecoin or doge, according to Charlie Lee. On the dogecoin subreddit, the litecoin creator has proposed merged mining of the coins in order to ensure better security: "Litecoin's security is a lot less than it could be. So merging mining with dogecoin would make both litecoin/dogecoin almost impossible to 51%." What does '51%' mean? When Lee refers to this 51%, he's talking about a '51% attack', an exploit that could be made possible if a miner or a pool could take control....
