Topic: Is Merged Mining implemented via the coin or the miner? (Read 242 times)

My understanding in the way that merged mining works is that the pool is configured to submit hashes against 2 block chains as opposed to just one. I have however noticed several CryptoNote coins forking to "add support" for it. Looking at various CryptoNote currencies, they seem to support MM with a select few other coins.

Is MM implemented at the coin level or would it be the miner simply checking the hashes in two places instead of one?
