Sorry, I must be missing something still.
Is this just a way for people to help BURST, or is this supposed to be profitable for all concerned at some point? It seems like 100K paid out versus 5 million paid in would be a poor investment.
The NXT pool pays back about 3% weekly and has only spent about half of the NXT that it originally raised on hardware. (I am building an actual mining farm with the proceeds of that, so I am waiting on some electrical work to bring the next 10 TH online for that pool)
This burst pool will solely use hosted rigs, so there won't be any delay in that regard.
I can't make any guarantees in regards to profitability, but it will be a consistant source of BURST as well as help create buy pressure.
And BURST is cheap right now, so it's a good time to buy in.
