Thanks for the kind words and ideas. I don't have plans to add passworded accounts as I see this as a differentiator with Bitparking - the owner of the private keys for the registered account owns the funds and it can't be changed. The Vircurex issue shows this has a downside but for those that own their own private keys they know they're safe. If I move to automatic withdraws and/or generated coins in the coinbase then even the pool wouldn't own the coins.

If BitParking wants to keep that difference it's perfectly fine, I just think the Vircurex mishap this evening show the weakness of using addresses that you don't really own (i.e. no private key for it).

After 10 minutes of thinking, my solution will be radical and easy: I'll re-create another account, and this time I will use my own wallets for every coin. And I would recommend this to anyone creating an account at this point!

Transaction fee payout is something I'm considering but if I do that I'll have to change to not paying orphans. Basically the transaction fees pays for the orphans - or so I'm hoping - over time. So far the pool is in debt in that area due to two early orphans when switching to DGM but we'll see. It seems that paying tx fees might be perceived as a better deal than paying orphans by users and it'll be worth switching.

If you want to keep using the fees to pay for orphans that's fine as well, but as you mentioned you are still in deficit because of them. I think there is no good reason to pay for orphans (besides speeding up payout for generated block without waiting for confirmations), while there are good reasons to pay the fees to the miners (that is supposed to become the main income eventually, in many years I mean...). So I would support the move, even if it temporarily means less revenue to the miners.
