we need more miners in the pool, more so than ever now, not less. At a minimum let's not encourage people to leave.
So the pool need a modern, updated, nice-looking frontend. An even lower fees are necessary, 0.5% is the only possible value for pool to be attractive for miners. May be some reward for those who find a block (with total hashrate per account is lower than 500 Th) is a good measure too if kano has any funds for it.
Please make
America this pool great again!

Lower fees don't make any noticeable difference ... being 0 fee from 19-Nov to 31-Dec didn't do much.
Block reward just increases variance and attracting tiny miners wont help - the pool has to at least pay for itself

The hash rate rose ...
I don't know about others, but I chose your pool initially because of this page:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools It is one of the first resources you find, when looking for pools.
Your fee may have been 0% for a while last year, and that was exactly when I was looking for a pool for my new S9. Since that table was not up to date I had no idea the fees were 0%. In my opinion, you did not see any difference or increase in hashrate then because not many people outside the pool knew that it's fees had been lowered.
