I have been mining on minergate now I switch to your pool and maybe therefore I have simple questions because it is new for me. I have 2 questions.
1st what Shares/diff means on the pool website in Pool Blocks section - the percentage value?
2nd do you plan to make, if possible on this kind of pool, merge mining with MCN or FCN?
thanks.

1st: this is a measurement of pool's luck.

Shares means the number of hashes calculated by all miners during the round.
Diff - is the current difficulty (i.e. average number of hashes we need to calculate to find a block).

If Shares/Diff is above 100% - we calculated more hashes trying to find block then expected (this means "bad luck")
If Shares/Diff is below 100% - we calculated less hashes during the round and this is "good luck"

During the long period of time average luck must be around 100%.

2nd: proper implementation of merged mining requires some C++ programming. I'll come back to this task next week.
