I have a user on my pool that brought this coin to my attention. If i read correctly this coin has source to integrate with p2pool but that is it. It seems the next step to get ltc pools on board is a patch to stratum and pushpool. Is this correct assumption?

Stratum doesn't need to change, but the supplied coinb1 needs to contain the merged mining header and the hash returned by getauxblock.

pushpool needs to be modified to ask USC for the hash, submit solutions to USC and distribute generated coins among users. (will also look into this myself, pushpool looks promising)

It would be great if you'd add support for USC in your pool.

I would be willing to give this a try if someone can assist me with it.
Pushpool would be a fine start if someone wants to give me a patch. If the coins show up in the wallet i can handle the rest. As in distribution to users.

I will freely admit i have never setup a merged mining pool.

Some thoughts about a solution.

A proxy should be written that sits between

litecoind
unitedscryptcoin
pushpool

It should getauxblock from unitedscryptcoin, getblocktemplate from litecoind, put USC hash in LTC block and provide a getwork interface to pushpool. Then pushpool doesn't have to be modified.

Getting acquainted with libblkmaker now...
