Added DTD (donations to date) stat at the top as suggested (good idea, btw!)

I was under the impression that the early adopters were not paying the pool 0.5% administration fees but that we were still giving 1% to charity.

No thats not the case. 0% fees is 0% fees. There really is and was no catch to that. We arent making anything right now (in fact we are at a loss if you dont count the bounty)

the idea was that the early adopters would help bootstrap the pool and that the latecomers would be the ones that the opensource devs and writers could benefit from. We are currently trying to come up with a better approach that will make everyone much happier. We will of course keep you up to date.

I never thought there was any catch. There was a clear distinction in my mind between the pool fees and the donations.

It's hard to tell when looking at:

Early-Adopter: 0% Pool Fees
You are donating 0% extra fees

I guess the word "extra" made me think there was a base donation. Maybe the second line should display the total % being donated instead of just the the additional donation %. It might already be like that, it's hard to tell because I am an early adopter. I would also remove the term fees from the second line. I understand that technically it's all fees in the pool code but semantically it's not the same thing.

Maybe I am also just making this overly complicated, english is not my primary language. IMHO the second line should just state "You are donating X%" or "You are donating X% of your mined bitcoins"
