-b9 has been reduced to 7% dev fee.  6.5% me, 0.5% jh00.  Windows build is 6% me, 0.5% jh00, 0.5% Clintar.

Can I ask why the extra 0.5% to jh00? jh00 already makes his coins from pool fees, and could adjust those if he wanted to take a bigger slice.

I know - but I built entirely on his codebase from xptMiner.  I've only changed one file in there - riecoinMiner.cpp.  All of the rest, from the threading and #cpu detection to the xpt protocol, is his.  I think it's right to have part of the dev fee go to jh00-the-developer, and for the pool fees to go to jh00-the-pool-creator/maintainer.

(I realize they're the same person and that jh00 benefits twice, but the way I mentally worked through this decision was to ask what I'd do if I'd based my code on someone else's miner -- I'd give part of the dev fee to them, too, so I figured it shouldn't be any different simply because jh00 also maintains the pool.)

This is the same reason the dev fee is split a little more for the Windows version -- Clintar did the patching and the makefile in his version for getting it to compile under the mingw framework, and helped me out getting my cross compilation environment working.
