Title: Why cant you submit shares to 2 or more pools simultaneously?
Post by: theblazehen on May 09, 2013, 07:29:28 AM
Eg. Tell cgminer that when it finds a share, to submit it to more than one pool?

Basically merged mining on different pools

the work sent by pools has info unique to the pool, shares from other pools will be rejected, only the pool that sent the work will see it as valid

What is that unique data? some sort of public / private key exchange (checking system server side?)

Any docs / links on that?
