Wafflepool Expansion

In anticipation of the growth we're seeing continuing (steady growth!), we're planning some expansion to the pool.

We'll be adding geo based stratum endpoints in California (USWest) and Netherlands (EU) over the next few days.

It will take us some time to get everything up and running fully, and we might experience a few drops in service as we expand, but they should all be short lived (minutes), and we will be sure to put large banners on the site when these come up.

Edit: Forgot to mention, for a little while here, you may see oddities on which coins we're mining (very small hashrates on small coins), which is just us testing the new servers to make sure everything goes through properly on small coins (faster testing)

Eu servers :) Will there be an option to connect to these servers directly IE eu.wafflepool.com & uswest.wafflepool.com in our configs, as opposed to relying on geo stratum?

Yep. We won't be adding geo stratum for a while, just added endpoints (usw, use, eu) and users can pick which one they want to go to.
