Ahh ok now I understand your goal better. As far as crowdfunding I doubt it is a viable option. Miners spend lot's of money on their gear and to keep it running. It's not really a charity or something you will get many behind.

Ultimate goal is ROI for miners. I doubt you will find many to use hash to pay for your film.

Not always though. I see people around here that say they don't care about making profit "but want to support the network". A crowdhashing website would help somebody raise funds and still assist in securing the network. And I wouldn't necessarily be asking people to point at the sub-pool/proxy 24/7 but maybe little bursts of 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there; which would still be beneficial to the project if it was pointing all the miners at a PPLNS payout pool, or even pointing to West/Nice Hash. If collectively through a bunch of different people pointing to the proxy for a little bit of time each day, that could maintain 1-20TH/s of constant speed (say spread across 100 people) throughout the day. Which is significantly better than the S3+ 450GH/s unit I have going by itself.

Plus that's the whole reason that I want to log shares, so people that contribute a certain amount of shares to the pool will be classified under different categories for receiving something in return for their time; a copy of the film, tickets to premiere, etc.

I might try to come-up with something myself in PHP... but not sure where to start. Definitely need to be using the socket functions. Looks like I have a lot of reading and coding to do.

If anybody is willing to help out, you can point any mining hardware to the BitMinter pool for a little while where you can use username "MovieMining" and any worker name you choose; even an AntMiner U2 would help.

I wish you the best of luck with your film

I would just be careful on spending money on this idea as I just don't see "could maintain 1-20TH/s of constant speed (say spread across 100 people". I have seen many stories and causes. Only one I remembering being a success on a mining effort was for the bitcoin museum guy. And it was only for a day or so.
