Figure 1. Merge
A merge allows to combine the value of multiple ThankTokens into a new ThankToken. All merged tokens get invalidated (a transaction is transfering it to the target of 0 what represents a trash bin) and a new token is created with an initial value close to but less than the sum of the current value of all merged tokens. In order to validate this easily, all tokens get connected in a ring-structure using a deterministic order.
All tokens to be merged have to be owned by the same identity and all involved transactions have to be signed by the according public key.
A merge is the opposite operation to a Fork.
