A great site. I made a version of it in python a while back and wanted to turn it into a website but never got around to it. Glad they did it for me but a lil sad I never got the media attention it got :(
No problem, I recommend it cause CherryPy will take any object oriented application and turn it into a website, you could make it all RESTful if it makes it easier and just have a jquery ajax client or something to make it stupid simple. Been using CherryPy for years and happy with it.
I'm not 100% sure what coin i'll attack. If people donate I might try for Vertcoin which will be $300-500 to attack. But if I stick with Einsteinium it will be very cheap, maybe $20-40. They could hardfork but I doubt they will. It's also sort of hard to implement a solution that quickly.
Bytecoin would take maybe a thousand, 4 or 5 if we want to get a transaction confirmed in an exchange. I'll do the biggest coin I can I'll put in $50 of my own money If anyone wants to donate you can:

You generally get around the "nothing at stake" problem by requiring validators (consensus-forming nodes) to submit a deposit that is subject to deletion upon proof of bad behavior. For example, if I get two conflicting messages signed by you in Ethereum's Casper network, I can present that data as proof to the Casper smart contract where you lose your deposit.
Are you renting hardware from the cloud?
Any chance they will hardfork before you can attack?
