I didnt read through this whole thread so I apologize if this has been mentioned.

Two questions/comments about this pool.

1. Has anyone done any calculations that show roughly how much more profit can be made mining here vs mining BTC directly? (I realize that mining BTC with GPU now is pointless, but Id like to see this compared to something) Maybe even converted to USD?

2. How hard would it be to modify the pool to allow a user to be paid out in BTC or LTC? This may make things more difficult than its worth but its a suggestion.
