I personally really appreciate the 0% mining fee right now. Thank-you!!  I run a business too and I completely get the 1% is your profit help keep your business going.  For you to cut your own throat and remove that 1% to me shows that you are committed to BTCZ by giving back to the BTCZ miners.  For me it allows me to throw that 1% (and more) back into the projects and races that I choose by donating where I want it to go and not where my mining pool wants it to go.  After all that's what the voting/donating system was for wasn't it?

I get a little upset when Suprnova is called crap and bad mouthed.  They didn't direct the majority of hash to their pool. We the miners did. So please don't blame him, blame us the miners.

I've been with Suprnova since early November, and I've tried 3 other pools and keep going back.  Why, because it works for me. The latency is good to my location. The payouts are reliable, fast and consistent.  But that's my operation.  As a miner you need to find out what pool works best for you.

This project is amazing, and with decentralization comes some disorder, but this coin will succeed because it has people who donating from all angles and embraces the true essence of the crypto revolution.
Developers donating time.
Miners donating their profits.
Pools donating and giving their profits back to miners.

Some miners are going to be greedy and put the 1% back in their pocket.  So be it.  Unfortunate, but the way of the world.

We should be thankful for any donation.  If Ocminer chooses to put a donation blurb on his BTCZ pool so be it, we can be thankful. But if he doesn't we shouldn't chastise or be negative, he's already given up his profits for this coin. 

Disclaimer: I've never met Ocminer, nor have any idea who he is.  Didn't even know he ran Suprnova until a few posts back.
