Hi All,

Yes, sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been pretty hectic, and I've been focusing on major pool improvements, not to mention my new daughter (thanks for the well wishes!). So, to try to answer a couple questions floating out there...

Yes, it appears we've been seeing our fare share of malicious activity lately, which has caused some service interruptions. We have been, and continue to work on it, and it seems we've made some progress. We hope to get some final fixes in place shortly.

As for our pool hashrate, a graph is actually available on our front page, at the bottom. Another useful page to know about, if people don't already, is our pool stats overview. Finally, we are working to provide a BTC/Mhs type chart, as seen elsewhere, but the recent events have caused some delays in rolling that out.

Finally, as we mine multiple coins simultaneously sometimes, the 'current coin' box can be a bit misleading. To see the breakdown, you can take a peek at our coins page.

As always, feel free to contact me directly for any account specific questions.

Cheers,

Congratulations!

As for the hashrate chart, there is something not right with it. Maybe the sampling periods are too long. I have seen hashrate go down to zero 0 (zero) on the pool stats page a couple of times in the last few days, and my miners switched to backup pools, clearly indicating the stratum server was offline, but that chart doesn't go anywhere near zero. A 24-hour chart with 5, 10, or 15 minute datapoints would be great.

Thanks.
