Oh. So the accepted things are just ... confirmations of some weird sort?
Also why does my cudaminer say 21 khash/s for my 8800 GTS
but https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Nvidia says my card is supposed to get 18000~ khash/s?

You pool mine, difficulty goes up so your cut of the pie goes down. It is that way with nearly any coin. So responsive because you are asking obvious questions.
There is no "pile" of work
WELL I do not understand what the new blocks stratum detects are and what the accepted X/Y things are. So if a share is not part of the pile of work what is a share? It is so confusingThere is no "pile" of work
no "time left for next block solve."
But I never said that you are putting words in me of course I know that finding the solution is pretty random but what are the shares that the server counts if they are not parts of the solution space or whatever to calculate?Do you know what a block is? It is a list of transactions, some random gibberish, and a few timestamps and other similar data. The transaction info can not be changed, but the noonce (gibberish) and the timestamps can be modified.
When you change that stuff, your computer then runs it through a hashing algorithm. Bitcoin uses sha-256, and litecoin//doge uses scrypt. The computer has absolutely no idea what the resulting hash is going to be until it calculates it (that is what keeps the entire network secure) That hash is a share, and if that share is special enough it's a block. It has to have leading zeros, statistically it is probable to find one share with so many leading zeros based on hashes/sec on the network chances are one will be found within 10 minutes (btc) 2.5 min (ltc) or whatever doge is. The terget number, difficulty, changes as more hashes/sec are added to the network.
If a share is not a high enough difficulty to be counted as a share (for the pool to track your rate, NO other uses) or a block your mining program will change some gibberish in the block and try hashing it again. If it comes out with a low enough hash it is submitted to the network as a valid block.
Do you see now how there is no "working to" a block? If someone else finds a block then everything is changed. When you work a hash, changing one tiny number changes everything. It really doesn't matter which block you were on, your chances are ALWAYS exactly the same, but variance isn't
Guess I should add that your chances aren't always exactly the same unless you somehow consistantly maintain your eaxct percentage of the network hashrate. Difficulty slowly but suddenly increases at a set interval, so over time your chances decrease.
What are the yays and boos my miner lists? And why are they so rare?

so not cool
QUESTION
do I compete with others when stratum detects a new block in figuring out the block? Like, only once every few new blocks do I see an "accepted" appear.
Does accepted mean I figured out the block/share before anyone else who were given that block share, and I can get the next share in the round?
I think I know that shares/blocks as I's saying here is not like solving the entire puzzle, but rather accepted meaning that the pile of possible solutions to the current puzzle is made smaller. But others might have taken care of the piece of the pile that I was trying to take care of or whatever
idk ;;
The dogesitepool seems to only count my workers as active if they have accepted blocks. So like even though my cpuworker says it has a 9khs hash rate, the site suddenly says it has 28 KHS because it had a lucky strike of three or four quick successive accepts.
so confuse

so confuse
i cant figure what is different and why its worth to buy beside pump and dump
so suspicious
wow
very doubtful
such serious
much fun needed
I try solo mining with nvidia 720 it only hashing for 14Khs
Wait really
I have an 8800gts and it gets 20k
are you using cudaminer?
It's totally worthwhile to destroy perfectly good hardware mining an insignificant amount of a joke coin. Then again, that hardware sounds like trash in the first place 
So first of all no hating on my core2.
Does using the CPU actually destroy it? I did not know that.
I never hate on an old functioning PC, and can generally always find a use (or user!) for one.
Did you think they'd last forever? Esp. when 24/7 running balls-out?

What if I do not overclock?

Is it worth using the herd mining option even if you can only use cpu?
WELL my graphics card gets like 20khash and throwing in the CPU adds 5-9 khash to it so totally worth it for me I think considering my electricity rent is constant.
