I'd be willing to host one of the pool miners, but I'm a bit strapped for time in near time. Also I'm wondering what resources I need. I can create a virtual machine with quite some resources but I cannot use all of the resources. May I host it through Tor?

Unfortunately running the pooled server is proving too taxing for my VPS host. They keep killing the server due to using too much CPU. sjaak on IRC has offered to host a server on 91.121.29.91 that runs full time on a dedicated machine (rather than a VPS). If sjaak posts here to confirm the offer I plan to turn my server off when it generates the next block (so all the existing contributers haven't wasted their time since the last block). sjaak's new server is currently running if you want to start using it now.
