Nice thread !
But regarding ramnode it should be edited. Here is what they replied to me when I asked them a while ago what was their attitude regarding primecoin mining :
Hi *****,

the TOS is clear :
"HARDWARE RESOURCE USAGE
Client agrees not to run any processes on his or her VPS which create a CPU load above .9 on the VPS for an extended period of time or which cause a high CPU load on the host node for an extended period of time. In other words, client agrees not to use the equivalent of a full core for him or herself for an extended period of time."
Mining there will get your account suspended...
