if the coin daemon is working i think you can still solo mine most coins even if there are no exchanges, but i don't know if you can solo mine merge mined coins. if you had 10% leafcoin as payout and it's not available on any exchanges, that 10% is divided into the other payout coins selected.

You can't solo mine merge-mined coins. While there's nothing theoretically preventing anyone from doing that, we added a check to prohibit the feature because it doesn't make sense economically. Merge-mined coins are generally only 1% as profitable as any other coin, and there's no reason not to mine a different coin and earn the merge-mined coins as a bonus.
