Thanks. I read that when I was getting set up. It would be nice if they give up that requirement by the time I collect enough to start mining GRC without going through the pool.

It's funny. I can't even explain my decision process. Rather than switch from a team that I've contributed to for 12 years, I abandon WorldCommuityGrid entirely. I can't claim to have a good reason for it. Sunk costs, I guess.
