No, it gives you (currently) almost 8% more income without slowing down your BTC mining at all. But if you don't want that you can set NMC donation to 100% to get rid of them. No need to switch pools to get rid of extra income, the pool is always happy to accept it as donations.

Fair enough, Will do that

It has temperature monitoring only for BFL FPGAs and BFL ASICs. Monitoring of GPUs got stuck on the TODO list while I have been busy with other things.
that explains it

thank you, I like cgminer more anyway but i tested it because it looks cool!, and if in the future you add a temperature and fan gauge it would be even cooler!

thanks
