As for the share accounting. All shares are put into a common pool. It doesn't matter if you mined doge, or cat, etc. If you submitted a valid share, that share goes into the pool. When a block is found (regardless of block type, and regardless of what you mined), we pull the last X shares, and pay them accordingly. You might never mine a single catcoin share, but you'll still receive payouts from when some part of the pool did (and found a block obviously).

Ok cool thanks, just clarifying. This makes more sense in how it should be done, but I could understand how easy it could implemented the other way which just seems like a convenient sloppy hack.
