    Well this is strange... in trade section of cex.io appeared notice about "3% pool fee", while at ghash.io page "Pool fee is 0% ! However, we have NMC merged mining to cover pool expenses."
    So it is interesting, what is the total fee?  Smiley
    May be 3% fee is for purchased ghashes and 0% fee is for private miners connected to ghash.io with their own equipment?..hmm

    Yeah, it would be good to find that out. I've been wondering if it's worth pointing my rig at the ghash.io pool and if there is any advantage for doing that. I don't have any idea about NMC merged mining with ghash.io pool or purchased GHS though, I'm going to have to read the small print I think. Namecoins are hardly worth anything and have dropped pretty heavily with the recent rise in BTC. My main pool BTC Guild produces NMC but I hardly think it's worth it sometimes, but maybe with ghash.io the NMC offsets the fees?

    Thanks for bringing this point up, it's interesting and certainly worthy of more investigation.

    Well. I've got an answer at cex.io support desk:
    "We have 0% fee both for sold GHS and miners connected to ghash.io. I have updated contract details at CEX.IO. Sorry for misleading information.

    NMC merdged mining worth about 1% of additional income.

    Alright, thanks for finding that out, much appreciated. I'm assuming that the merged NMC mining is internal to the ghash.io pool and CEX convert this into BTC and we benefit? I wonder if there's any information on transaction fees? Some pools return a portion of fees to the users as additional revenue but maybe CEX keep these to enable the trades to be free?

    Can i sell gh/s that  i physically own or is it only their hashing power?

    As far as I know you can only sell their own hashing power. You can however, point your own rig at the ghash.io pool, click the "ghash.io" tab on the top bar of the home page, that will take you to the stratum server info that you need to configure your miner. You need to be registered to use their pool.
