One more US-based pool would likely help the forking issues.

I think I can get the cost down to $20 a month using Linode.
I just can't risk using existing equipment due to DDoS and stray asshats who punish our intrusion prevention.

If you'd consider a static monthly donation, I'd provide free mining.
Otherwise, I' think I'd have to do .5% to cover the costs.

Please PM me and/or post if you're interested in mining, or what you'd consider donating for free mining.
I'll post commitments, if any.

thx!
