I started to mine on Eligius about 10 hours before the system went into failsafe...
I choose Eligius because I rather like the payout scheme and the overall system design. Also... because the brand new Antminer S1 I got does NOT talk to slush's pool nor BTCGuild, so I had to actually find another pool. That's when I came upon Eligius.
And then of course the DoS mess that started not too long ago, I figured it is something that will be resolved, and continue on. Well it is...

Now I've just received my second antminer S1, and I'm going to point that at Eligius now. Hopefully I can sort out the antminer's weirdness and have it mine at full speed.
