The pools aren't too hard to set up, message me if you'd like help Iridium.

I just figured out how to set up the client, but once you get past the initial learning curve, its a lot easier.

The HUGE benefit to starting our own private pool is that everyone involved would make more money than if it was solo. There would be more of an incentive for everyone to share CPU power, etc.

There's also a free browser miner, does require java:

Which also has a site widget, but CPU mining is significantly slower than GPU mining. And BTC+ taxes 15% through websites. I'm just trying to give an example. This however, is not a solution for our own server/pool.
