Stats have been down for like 48 hours, now the site is completely down. That's just unnaceptable for one of the largest pools, or really any site at all. I just am skeptical that this is all being used as a front for pool operators absconding with coins that should have gone to the miners. Admittedly I have a hard time trusting Christians or "altruists".
Pick your poison.
Pay 3% at BTC Guild and have a rock solid site.
Pay nothing, except optional donations here, and the system can be unstable.
