Good news. New server is ready. Moving will cause a little downtime though. It's probably best to schedule this ahead of time, so people can set a backup pool or manually move to another pool during the downtime. Saturday in a week might be good?
Also, there seems to be strong support for BIP 16, so I will put those votes in. Just going to test new bitcoind + the vote change + other changes in new mining pool software. But coming soon...
Yay! Good points, I updated the subject and contents of the original post a bit, maybe it helps attract more miners.
Nicely done, sir.
Hmm. SMS notifications. Paypal payout. Added to my list.
It's a race! Will their 0.5% fee or their bonuses decide? Or maybe that old hairy monster called Variance?

Bitminter is the largest merged mining pool which has no fee and shares transaction fees.

Oh god I solved two blocks :'D

Id gladly sacrifice transaction fees or even merged mining fees in return for one feature I think is missing still. Eclipse has SMS notification for hash rate (and even found blocks), which is really cool. Im not sure how he does it and pays for it, it cant be free to send a dozen SMS messages across the globe for any miner, but its neat. Paypal payout is also something that could appeal particularly to newbies, even if a fat fee is taken. That fee could also form a small source of revenue.

I'm doing an extended revenue comparison of BitMinter and p2pool, I'll share my findings in a month or two.
