[quote author="Bramme" date="1249498493"]At the moment, I split the password and the static salt in it. I was just wondering if it was worth the trouble of adding dynamic salts too. Is it that much safer?[/quote]

It's merely security through obscurity. Given enough time and resources any hash can be reversed into the cleartext. So adding a dynamic salt too just adds a bit more obscurity to the hash.
