the mining process seems to be the same as other chains...

The mining process is actually quite simple. Especially for mining newbs like me. The lightwallet client allows mining in a pool with a click. And the lightwallet client is not the run-of-the-mill QT client. It has been made specifically for Merit.

...the invite distribution, the dev decided to keep 10% of them for new miners; that number seem to be manually set

10% is not for "new" miners but is rather to random addresses (could be PoW miners, could be not). And there is no manual setting or human bias in the distribution.

He might be talking about the 10% that the IceMining pool keeps... but either way! We're all right

Oh ok, got it. Yup. Icemining does keep 10% INVs. ifyousmell, yes that is set manually and depends on the pool owner entirely. So if you mine in any pool, the pool owner will have his/her own way for distributing.
