Which is of course, a very, very stupid reason.

Dont get me wrong, Im appalled cryptx is even mining there, and I would welcome a switch to p2pool or some smaller pool (my vote goes to bitminter), but buying existing shares from another shareholder at an inflated price is going to change what exactly about where cryptx mines, or for that matter, with how many TH he mines ? If you had bought in to an IPO at least you could claim you want to "support" the security issuer for mining at your favorite pool, but thats not what you did.
