Dunno if anyone else have noticed, but somehow server update seem to get rid of that getwork issue. For a half day not a single getwork failures. Pretty dramatic improvement! From tenths to zero, as merely a side effect.. pretty nice.  

Still seems something happen time to time to the connection, as there's couple occasional reconnects in a day. Well, better than dozen getwork failures in a hour I suppose.  

Ping is around 50-60 in a EU.

All we are missing now is altcoins with a actual value.
