If they're both SHA-256 why can't you merge mine PPC/BTC ?

A new version of the PPC source needs to be released supporting Merge Mining with BTC etc. and a majority of the nodes/people needs to support this change by running the new code.

i want to join two pool's one pool is BTC and the other is PPCoin?

is it possible to merge mine BTC and PPC as they use the algorithm.

NO

Why can you do NMC and not PPC

ABCPool.co states that "A cheater can submit only shares and withhold any blocks found. This way the pool must pay for the shares, but will never earn anything because it does not know about the found block."

how can someone do it?

can it be done with a miner?

You may do so to hurt the pool but you will never profit from doing this. Satisfied?

wrong, if u wanna kill the pool so others use ur pool u will profit Tongue

Yes, you can simply not send blocks you find, just to hurt the pool.  However you would have to have significant mining power to really hurt, and the pool can do things to find out and ban people who are doing this to them.

Each hash is unique for the pool its mining on, work done for one pool wont work on another pool, its just that clear cut & simple.

is there a way to join two pools with the same hashing power by submitting the same share to both pools and keeping the block's when found by not submitting it to the pool.

NO, NO, and NO

can't any miner do it?

I try to be very patient with newbies around here, but every single one of your posts has been massively ridiculous. Can't tell if you're trolling, or just that completely clueless. Almost every single thing you have asked can be found either by searching here on the forums, googling for an answer, or just reading around! Please just stop.

Totally agree, you have taken spoon feeding to a new level...

No. The "problems" for each currency are different, so the "parts of the solution" (shares) can't be the same for each currency.

BTC and PPC can't be merge-mined as they use the same algorithm.
Is there a way to submit the same share to the btc pool as well as the ppc pool.
Run 2 different instances of your miner, each pointed at a different pool.
To be clear, this is splitting the hashing power, right?
Yes.

Otherwise I'd be running an instance of CGMiner on every single pool I could find!
is there any way to submit the same share to two pools without looseing hashing speed.
Absolutely not.

Edit: I said this because it's not really "merge-mine".  As the thread went on, it seems the OP may not even appreciate the distinction.
