that pool has 3.5% fees...

3.5% and stable (so far... but there's a shitton of hash power being thrown at it right now, and it's taking it like a champ) versus 2% and down half the time.

Messing up payments is something you can't fix- take your time.

seconded. no rush.

yeah, I know C about as well as I know Hindi. Which is to say, I do not know it at all but the characters look like something I might have seen on TV once.

For me, I need someone to very explicitly say what needs to be done. I mean, I know what an include is, but I do not understand how C works well enough to determine EXACTLY what needs to be included. :\

I know you're trying to be helpful, but it's quite simply not enough to help me, unfortunately.

still getting bignum.h missing (checked out twice, once with new clone, just to be sure)

In file included from /memcoin/memorycoin_miner/getwork_miner.cpp:5:0:
/memcoin/memorycoin_miner/momentum.h:1:20: fatal error: bignum.h: No such file or directory

oh, one other thing: unless I'm reading it wrong (which is likely), port 3838 seems to be hardcoded in there; is there an easy way to make that a default but overridable from the command line args?
