How will you be proportioning the pot? For example, will it be an even split between however many exchanges there are (an equal share to be spent on each exchange), a split that is directly proportional to the volume on each exchange or some other relevant statistic, or will it be split purely on a whim, with no particular system in place?
I must update the ANN, the second exchange is not being added, I was scammed by somebody pretending to be from coinmarket.io. For now it's only Poloniex, although perhaps others will add in the future (Cryptsy, McxNow, Coinedup).
For the time being, and probably all of the 9 weeks, we'll stick to Poloniex, that way Insanity Sundays will have more impact. Any change can be proposed or discussed by the community, if that is there's a strong valid reason for changing.
And on a side note, am I correct in assuming that if I have the wallet running and setgenerate set to true (cpu mining), while there is no benefit to the mining per se, there is a benefit to the network by providing an additional distributed node to process transactions?
Yes, please do, every little helps. There are a few high power rigs to support the network, one is on it all the time, and there's a warning if anybody tries to fork the block chain which kicks in another 5 very high power rigs, with yet more available on demand and prearranged
