Theres a typo in your last sentence. "Early bird gets no sleep, hammers away on a makeshift proxy, and then gets dicked around by a marketing scheme"
They still look like they're paying out 100 LTC/block (2x), so as soon as that stops, I'll cut the proxy (and re-enable if it goes back to 2x).
For what it's worth poolwaffle, I thought you would take the high road. At first you didn't seem to be heading in that direction, but you seem to have changed course. It's a difficult decision, and I really don't know which road I would take in your position. Assuming higher rejection rates as a result of proxying, the pool might be able to get pretty close to 125% LTC without the added risk of non-payment by ghash. At least you have the proxy code ready if another opportunity should arise in the future.
And part of me still wants you direct 100% to ghash in order to kill the offer for the 15GH/s whale! Because why should we be forced to back off while he reaps all the rewards!!
