It might as well be. Everything on those pages, are a direct correlation to the information on Kano's web page, and this forum thread.
Ultimately, my (main) reluctance would be this: As it stands now, you could put a "donate to ...." wallet tag as you have currently in your .sig and people would think it would be going to Kano -- not thinking that it was actually going to you. If it's not official, it's not official.
For one thing, because I have my vanity address in my sig doesn't mean I'm asking for anything, nor do I. It's simply my address. Another thing, I have my very own account that I promote Kano's Pool from, not affiliated with Kano, nor this pool. And, if anyone were to post so foolishly in this forum, while posting an address scam, would most definitely be pointed out as a scammer!
I thank you for painting me as a scammer, and if you don't like the idea of people helping out, and promoting this pool, that's fine.
You don't have to participate. Thanks.
