Some people have started using the default donation as a way to bad mouth P2Pool.

Obviously it's easy enough to disable if you bothered to read the wiki. Still, I think it would be better to make the donation opt in instead of opt out.

Don't get me wrong, I think forrestv deserves the donation (and more) for all his work on P2Pool, but maybe it would be best to default the donation to 0 in a future release?

Seriously? People have a problem with half of a percent that can be changed to anything else, including zero, with absolutely no effort?

Screw 'em. Leave the default where it is.

The fact that you guys take criticism as bad mouthing is not a good sign. You should see feedback as an opportunity to improve and not just say "screw 'em". This response is very disappointing.

Would "Fuck you" be less disappointing?

Forrest has spent hundreds of hours to make it possible for idiots like you to participate in a decentralized pool and still get regular payouts. And you say that he is exploiting people by having a default donation of half of one percent that can be changed by anyone that bothers to read the documentation provided?

Let me say it again. Fuck you. By creating and developing this incredible software, he is helping not just you, and not just all p2pool users, but the entire bitcoin community. You should do the decent thing and apologize for you ridiculous accusation.
