It's just The Blocks Factory that's down - all of its pools and various web interfaces - looks like they've got a serious issue and are frozen in time.

Bird's pool and Crypto Pool Mining are hammering away. BTW, Crypto Pool Mining is in London? How did I get the idea that they were in Virginia?


As far as exchanges go, don't trust any of them! I get on and off immediately - only there long enough to get the trade done, and then everything's back in MY wallet. I've had issues with Cryptsy, but they've always made good . . . sooner or later. Never had a problem with MintPal, but they're going though a take-over so better safe than sorry. Never used Bittrex - never had the need and with what I've seen posted here the last few weeks, there's not much to get me too excited about them either.
