NOPE it does NOT apply to devfees ! it changes to SSL to "secure" the fees 
then when devfee round ends it goes back to so called unsecure.
all this while mining has been around for so long WITHOUT SSL at all.
imo, not needed.
heh, for sake of arguments, go look & see at all MUCH bigger BTC pools.
as many said, end of the day, it's just basically a deal btwn the creator & pool made ssl & secures the fees.

BTC does not use it because there is no software miners with dev fee. Easy. It is not needed for mining as such.

I hope you don't go into the so called SSL "secured" thing. More are coming to support your pool as it is a MUCH better pool without SSL all this while.

- This miner discriminates people who don't use SSL connection by higher fee (he call this "motivation to switch to SSL" - but why?);
- People want lower fee at best pools and demand SSL from pool operators;
- Pools want to have more miners and have to implement SSL.
I am not against of SSL as an option.
I am against of pushing people to use unnecessary things. I don't see any reason to "motivate" people to use SSL if they don't feel it necessary.
