I will contact the operator now. And fire up my bitcoin-qt.exe to grab a fresh address. Also, I would hope that people will throw hash at it once up

I'll throw something at it. Not much, cuz I don't have much. But if it supports scrypt, I'll point a miner at it.
Indeed they do support Scrypt rigs. I think its sha-256, scrypt, x11 and x13, in regards to hashpower i can also point some Scrypt power at it when it comes online
