Starting a pool from scratch is difficult.  I'd recommend looking into having a p2pool node, or even mining under a p2pool sub-pool like NastyPool to get more consistent payouts for your users.

I really do appreciate the reply.  Getting the pool up and running I can handle.  Obviously the hardest thing is to get the 1/2 a p/hash + I need to get a few nodes a month and keep people with us.  Running at 50 TH/s I know wont cut it.  So many people are feeling the time crunch on mining right now.  I know I am to an extent.  People starting to worry about the half quickly approaching on payout, as well as the hobby miner loosing ground quickly with the complexity increases that we have had over the last 90 days or so due to  all the new equipment being released from Antminer.  You need to drop $4000 to get a couple coins a month now as it is.  With the vacuum left from BTC Guild there will be people that are still looking for a replacement.  The trick will be getting them on the server at one time instead of the 2 in 2 out thing I have seen before on failed servers.  

Am i Wrong?

I have been a Lurker for some time now.  I do not believe in doing anything half speed so I have put much thought into this.  I know it is almost impossible to build a strong base now at this point.  I have the bandwidth and knowledge to do this.  

I'm Looking for advice more than anything.  I have about 20/THS + Friends to point at it out of the gate. Renting Hash Power is a possibility also.  My biggest concern has been the possible legal ramification.  Obviously living in the United states I could be prosecuted for stealing so if anything that should help with the confidence factor.

Any Advice would be appreciated.

I also went ahead and purchased a domain in case I do go though with this.
