You are correct in that it does not take much to set up a BTC server. The new ones are plug and play and can be set up within an hour. However, if you have to syncronize 100 servers or more in your mining pool, that may be a different story. Mining pools go down all the time because of technical reasons. I for one don't care if they ever get the servers in the pool. They are still being rewarded BTC. Yes, the BTC rate will be greater if they had the servers in the MELY pool, but I can wait until they are technically satisfied with performance or any other technical issues they are working on. Look at the problems Eligius pool had when the pool was open. People were not getting paid the correct amount of BTC (some not at all in the beginning) and other issues. Remember, when the pool is open, MELY will not only receive BTC, but they will be responsible for ensuring all participants are awarded the correct amount of BTC. That in itself is a lot of responsibility and should not be taken lightly. I can wait for them to be completely satisfied with the performance before the pool opens to the public.
