In some ways this is bad, but I see it as good.

I have always donated 5% of my earnings back into the pool.

I don't have alot of hash-powah (1250mh/s) and can't mine much (4-6 hours a day) compared to other guys mining and it makes me sad to see a pool that runs from donations-only have to many people mining with little donation amounts of 0.1% or 0.5% (and many with zero!)

In some ways I feel like it's the right thing to do.

I'm supporting ya Graet!
