I've talked with one of the devs for the past four months and he is honest, forthright and hates the games that were going on with 51% attacks, disproportionate centralized pools, unknown pools hogging the coins.  I've been around the circuit a few too many times on receiving nicehash attacks, lost coins from bad pools, and am sick of getting whacked with high fees at every turn. This is a pool for miners by miners and have a cadre of advanced people operating the pools.


I do love that the CPU mining can be equivalent in hash rate to some mid range GPUs since each thread only takes 1mb of cache instead of 2mb.

I heard that future developments might be DNS sec for pools with some registration for POW/POS accountability.
The donation pool listed on github has the address and a viewkey for transparent accountability.
