Is pool still down?
No, it is back up. My big concern is that the pool went down right before the blocks stopped being one coin each, and was down for several hours. The pool has mined roughly 153 of the 437 blocks. On top of that there has been very little activity from the coins backer, I would be wary of investing too much time in this.
Expert noob analysis: "wow, a whole 24 hours since dev was here, I'm sure he abandoned us"
