yes, I've had some health problems and I didn't want to launch when I would not be available. I'm finishing up the v2 code now, and hope to have it implemented soon.
Hope you are feeling better, thanks for the update.
Many thanks! It seems I'm on the road to recovery... just a few more procedures and I should be heading towards normal
That said..... the site is back online! Please use a backup-miner just in case there are any site issues. I'm running dupes for each machine myself.
Stats are now updated every 30min (just haven't updated the notices... coming soon). Also, some lifetime stats might be off (no worries, current shares are still there and counted!)
Additionally, I'm thinking of eventually moving to a small fee (there will be warning, and it will be on a new block) to encourage donated hashes for further development of the simplecoin front-end. Yes, it's true, I'm more motivated when money is involved.
