I think pool op should instate mandatory 1% fee.
I saw someone the other day with 60TH/s on here. He linked his payout address. 0% donation. 0%!!!

I mentioned this previously but Luke and wizkid didn't like it. Just checked the top 20 again and not a single donation with thousands of BTC mined. If the high rollers would donate just 0.01 %, it would help out with pool maintenance costs. But I still don't like the idea of a set fee.
I'm not donating, I confess. But this will change once more miners have been deliverd to me and when my hashrate is higher than 10 TH/s (which will be in two weeks).
During the last months, I have tried several pools. When I started, I was with ghash. They leave you with the impression that you make a lot of money by paying out constantly. However, ghash is today a no-go. The guild looked nice. But eligius is in my opinion the one with the most transparency. And the fact that it is constantly under ddos tells me that some competitors may be shitting their pants because of this. Or another reason - who knows.
I don't want to pick a fight, but this, honestly, is crap... I currently run one, single little S1 and I donate 1%, split 3-ways among stats/ops/hosting. Seriously, it's the least we can do, especially since EVERY other option charges something. You are riding for free because you're little and that's not right.
I HATE the idea of a forced fee, and if one is instituted, I will reduce my donation correspondingly; however, I only say that knowing that other people are freeloading. I am running 180GHs - I've been on this pool for over a year now, and I've given the entire time, even when my sweaty little GPUs were struggling to break 1MHs before the ocean of asics hit.
