I'm really excited about the future of the project, it would seem that there was a bit of post news dump but I think we'll see a lot of upward price movement very soon.

Mining in the pool is how the donation is taken via a 100% mining fee, your contribution is recorded and the BTCP will be sent post fork.

This only applies to mining via the Officially run pool listed above.

Not at all, any amount mined will be credited to you with an additional 25%.

It's a great way to help out, and it also reinforces the community's right to make their own choices. Love it.

It really is, and it is an excellent way to get the mining community involved.

Although it's due for a healthy correction, I bought kind of high so maybe it'll wait a little longer. :) Good on you for the gains though! I'm still quite new, just trying to learn the ropes.

Stay safe, and prayers for the victims and now displaced (at best) families.
