Thanks Lebubar.Yes I don't think 200drk fall from the sky but :

700DRK now poised for action, I prepped the server earlier today, just some wallet shuffling and keygen magic to do when the last 300 roll in.
I've gone with a UK VPS company that I've used for other purposes before without problems, partly because I've used up the 5 elastic IP's Amazon will allow me and they haven't got back to me yet about giving me another one, partly because I want to shift a bit of centralisation away from Amazon anyway, and it's beefier server hardware and far more included bandwidth than an Amazon t1 micro. Costs £4/month, I trust everyone is OK with that.
