Thanks, no offense taken. I think I may just switch over to triplemining, people are certainly embracing the idea.  I just have a couple things I wanted to clarify, since I haven't seem to have found a definitive answer.  

First, in that example... Nevermind, I saw you've already answered this question in another thread.

Also, where is your cut here MrSam? I mean the website is great, professionally designed, probably gets lots of traffic, and you've got no ads.  You're offering features that all the other pools charge for, but you only charge 1% (which can be earned back).  I don't know what the back-end for a mining pool requires, but I imagine you need to run some kind of central server to manage all the nodes, track stats, etc.  On top of all the setup costs there's the labor you're putting in and the risk you're taking by potentially attracting the kind of attention Deepbit and BTC Guild have been getting lately.  How do you plan to sustain it?  I get that your business model may be a kind of trade secret, so it's cool if you don't want to go into it, but that's the last part that seemed fishy to me.

Heh, I guess right now deepbit is kinda like the devil we know, they put their cut right on the front page, anyone can see where the catch is there ;-)
