This was only during early development phase. We were under attack. I raised the fee.
I have plans to lower the pool fee to 4.5% beginning on April 17, 2018 at 2p.m EST and again to 2.25% beginning on May 17, 2018.

Everyone in the community is welcome to start a full node and or launch a pool. Also pool ops PM me or post links to your pools below to get listed above and on website etc.

Thanks
