Looks like the pool is growing again.  Over the last couple of weeks it hit a low of just under 1,000 TH/s and has added over 100 TH/s since.  That's a 10% gain.  Not bad.

The network has grown far more than 10% over the past few weeks. In fact its currently growing at nearly 3% per day.

I like the idea of merging with  (or better, absorbing) another pool that is in a similar situation to ours.  This is a great pool and the Doc does everything you could hope for to make it as easy as possible to be successful here.

Different pools have different features, different fee structure etc. I think thats a good thing, so Im not really advocating merging pools. It would however be an idea to somehow spread the risk. "Pool the pools" Of course that means you have to trust the other pools not to withhold blocks, so Id be very selective, but there are several pools that have been around long enough to trust in that regard.
