has been fine for me, next time, check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ for site up/down info.

@kenshirothefist, a question on config... do you prefer if the option for "--no-submit-stale" is used or not. I am unsure whether to allow my miner to submit stale shares as i know the hash power could very well be going to a multipool which encourages use of submitting stale shares as they may still be accepted.

thanks in advance for your response!
