You can if you like, but it is SHA256 so you will need an ASIC miner. You can merge mine it with other merge minable coins. Once we introduce multi-algo it will make it much easier for the average person to get into the mining side of things.
really looking forward to the integration. It might be quite hard right know to mine it, which makes it somewhat unattractive for a lot of especially newcomers. I really love the project and the vision and I think that could really give it a good push in the future. I really have to say, that I very like the frequent and steady updates!
