It seems that Hamsterpool is closing too.
One by one, the pools are going away.

Can't say I'll miss them. I spent some time writing them feedback about why their pool didn't achieve its goal and advice to improve it, their response was to delete my comment...
On a happier note, YAAMP's death has sprouted 3 clones for now (maybe more are coming?). This could be very good news: several multipools, all with public APIs, competing against each other with low fees and new coins. Interesting times :-)
