Could you make the user name also include HUC and NMC addresses separated by dots?
You must be thinking of a different pool. Neither of those are, or will be, supported by ckpool code and the pools that run it.

Merged mining is part of Bitcoin, you disagree with it?
No, merged mining is part of the altcoins, not bitcoin. They just stuff themselves into a random part of the bitcoin block header. Yes I couldn't care less about altcoins, and that includes namecoin. See the FAQ in the ckpool thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ckpool-open-source-poolproxypassthroughredirectorlibrary-in-c-for-linux-790323
I'm not remotely interested in that debate. If you wish to discuss altcoins, take it somewhere else please where I can ignore it.

I have always questioned how mining works here. I know that every miner is attaching a nonce in order to hash a block, but how is that nonce determined? Is it just a normal increment? For example my miner starts with nonce 0000001 then 0000002 then 0000003 and so on. Do all miners hash like this?
The choice of how to do nonce changes is left up to the client, and is actually changing two nonces concurrently with stratum mining. Virtually every client is cgminer or a fork of its stratum code, so they all pretty much do it the same. Cgminer changes nonce2 incrementally and the change to nonce itself is done within all asic miners. Some unique hardware like avalon2/3 actually do both the nonce2 and nonce changes internally.

So with solo mining does your miner pick a random unsolved block and try to solve some mathematical equation? Same as with pooled mining but you keep most of the reward?
Close...

We're always trying to solve the same unsolved block with different random data with a mathematical function in order to generate a block worth of bitcoin into a particular address, usually the pool's address. In this special pool variant you're actually trying to generate the bitcoin into your own address (hence why you have to use a bitcoin address as your username).

If you're having trouble understanding how it works, try this explanation I just came up with Smiley

Pick an enonce and a merkle, some other info and a hash.
Use some transfer USBuckets, watch the ASIC give a bash.
Random microeons for a nonce of Bitcoin cash.
Grab that payout, then on the town, for a well earned party splash.

Thats just confused me even more thanks for the nice rhyme though Cheesy

I think he's applying for a job as a Hallmark card writer for cryptography geeks.

I think so too Cheesy

Ok great thank you I get it a bit more now, so every pool worker and solo miner around the world is trying to solve the same block at the same time ?
Correct, but simply put they all use a different inputs one of which is the address they are mining to. In a pool your mining to the pools address and when solo mining to your own. Solo ckpool is a combination of both where the reward is split between the block finder and the pool. Thats why it doesn't matter how much hash the pool has but it only matters how much hash you point towards it.

Ok great thanks very much Smiley

hi all, hi ckolivas,
i give it a try on your pool, just 120 GH/s but who knows...
many questions left for me open but i try to form it in words later.

your payout would be 24.5 btc . the rest goes to CK.
Actually it's only 0.5%, not 0.5 BTC, so it's 24.875 and the rest goes to me, along with the same proportion of any transaction fees.

corrected pardon my lack of memory.
