I'll be thinking about setting up another pool which would be more long term viable than MMC turned out to be and which would be able to resist multi Tbps DDoS attacks, in a phoenix like fashion. But so far it is all on drawing boards, so nothing much to talk about.
Vladimir, with your mining power perhaps you can contribute an idea like p2pool to stabilize. No more DDoS, distributed mining (and distribute reward) in the spirit of the whole Bitcoin project.
Please, take a glance and consider a testing period on it.
