I don't know how his pool server is coded, but maybe he should block miners trying to connect with difficulty <32.
If we find a block now, I don't think anyone will get a payout, other than TX fee payouts for the block finder and the pool.
Well, whatever it was resolved relatively quickly.
Oh, and BTW, there is a new kid on the block. 900+ GH/s just check in. #2 hasher from Eligius, which is down with a stratum server failure (only one server, really?)
PS Mr BBAv, set your difficulty to higher than 32. You could easily set to 2048 with your ~1TH.
