Posting questions here as suggested by ck on other thread...

1. In solo mining my understanding is finding shares on pool difficulty is meaningless, share has to be solved to be less or equal than the network difficulty. Is that right ?
2. Does cgminer takes that into consideration when pointed to solo.ckpool ?
3. If that's the case I should not have so many accepted shares. My miner should only submit share when fond a block.

Below response from CK seems answers above questions

The answer is shares aren't worth anything but they don't consume much bandwidth and are used for feedback to the miner only to know they're mining successfully.

Still would like to know answers for below questions:

4. I see cgminer adjusts miners difficulty by its hashrate, how can I disable it and make it to find block by bitcoin's network difficulty ?
5. Maximum nonce on 32 bit is 4294967295. That's ~4.2 Gh/s. When you have more hashing rate than this does what mining software (cgminer in particular) does in meantime its waiting for next work ?
