Waffle and team, I want to make a suggestion to you guys.
I think you should implement registrations to control the number of hashing power. The faster you grow the faster you will encounter issues, and the need to expand. Now, if you are willing to continue to keep upgrading your gear and do all the work on software, and manage to do it with no much downtime, more power to you. But, I wouldnt want to see you fall because of technical problems. One of the many reasons MiddleCoin went down the tubes.
I dont think it would inconvenience people to go and register, it takes no time. What it will give you is an ability to regulate traffic and how much youre willing to accept at any moment. Say you want to add 5 more GH, you resume registrations and when a specific number is reached you close it down.
Thoughts?

Besides, WafflePool has handled a 10fold increase in hashing power almost overnight quite well... I foresee little problem stemming from future growth.
I doubt it is necessary yet but is poolwaffles problem, if he can't handle the load then is certainly one way to go, I personally wouldn't mind not that hard to choose a username and password so long as he doesn't want my social security number, address and the name of my grade 2 teacher
