12.5 btc for use of his multipool software and the answer is.
Not even close.

If we all contributed we'd probably be able to come up with an amount of FAC that would make it work, but perhaps hashcows will be the best approach for the immediate future.
I'll contact them and see what they say.
We don't need all to contribute, we just need SOME to contribute and reach the 12.5 BTC (or equivalent)
Then the pool can charge a fee until those 12.5 BTC are payed.
