Just wanted to give a thumbs up to this pool.   It's been working very efficiently for me since it started.  Fast payouts, very transparent operation, no fixed fees and a responsive administrator (does that g2x3k ever sleep?).   It does not matter to most, but I think pool-x is the best looking pool out there too.  :-)

PS> I'm new to the Bitcoin world and decided to start with Litecoin as a way to learn more about the process by following the launch of a new coin.  So far it has been lots of fun.
