Sounds like FUD.  Unless they directly deal in USD, it can't be used for fraud.  At least, can't directly be used for fraud.

Bad luck can affect pools just like it can affect solo mining.  Back in the summer I was mining litecoin on a pool, the estimate was that the pool should have been finding ~2 blocks per day.  That pool hit a VERY bad run, it went 6 days without finding a block, pool hashrate and difficulty stayed roughly consistent the whole time.  And then when it finally got a block, it got orphaned... ouch. talk about a kick in the teeth.  Then 2 more days to the next block, then it resumed a neutral luck pattern again.  I actually switched pools after the second day of nothing, but I kept watching it.


It re-enforces what I always say: It doesn't matter what method of mining you choose.  If you average out your mining over a long enough period of time, the total amount you earn will be about the same.  The only thing that changes is the payout, either small amounts throughout the period, or a large lump sum at the end.  
How long is long enough for it to average out?  Well... that could be a long time depending on your hashrate vs the total network hashrate.  It's not necessarily the time to your first solo block, it takes more time than that to average out.
The rule of thumb that I've heard stated, and I tend to agree with, is that if you can solo mine at least 1 block per day, then it makes sense to go solo.  Less than 1 block per day, then you're better off on a pool.  I can't think of any scenario that would necessitate someone needing more than 1 payout per day.

On the contrary.  Cryptsy would actually stand to lose by opening SXC/BTC.  Right now they are collecting percentages on two trades instead of one.  First they take a percent on BTC/LTC, then they take a percent again on LTC/SXC.  They have this luxury as long as they are the only game in town.  Once SXC gets picked up on more exchanges, they will start to lose their SXC trading volume.  THEN they might consider adding it to the BTC market, as a way to get the volume back.

People have been wanting this for awhile.  But in my honest opinion, it didn't make sense before because the value and the network stability/security wasn't there.  But now people are realizing that this coin is not just a joke, and really does offer something unique and have value and the potential for more value.  So now it does make sense to add SXC to the BTC market.  In fact that's one of the necessary next steps to help take the coin to the next level to reach its full potential.

Does this only affect the windows client?

Yeah, it's happening to all the pools.  Seems like they take turns which pool they attack, as a way of keeping as many offline as possible at the same time. 

Never use an exchange address as username on P2Pool!  You will not receive your coins.  Not only does Cryptsy warn you not to do this, BlackGold says on their homepage too: "Don't use an exchange address!".    P2Pool doesn't send the coins, it mines them.  And the exchange is unable to determine who mined them.  Just look at the transactions list in your own wallet.  Notice that the 'mined' coins have no address associated?  Well the exchange would see the same thing, incoming mined coins with no way to know who mined them.

It's probably a safe bet that it will keep slowly bleeding value until the next big news hits.  Which will most likely be the release of the new client.  Where will it bottom out?  Hard to say, depends how many hardcore believers there out there!

Yeah, in the short term the big dumps hurt the price.  But in the long term, those big dumps are actually good for the coin.  Because it helps to 'spread the wealth'.  The more people that have it, the more will use it, and the more than use it, the more it will become valuable.

I'm pretty sure the /users is the same data as the payouts page.  You won't show up there until you've been on the pool long enough to start getting paid.

I've upgraded that server twice over the past couple days.  It's currently handling 100MH/s, and it's running well.  I'm still working on optimizing as much as possible, I want to get the DOA's down to at most 10%.  It's current hovering between 15% to 20%, which is a tad better than the 50% + we were getting when the first big load came!

Well, that's how luck works.  
It's basically a lottery system.  The network announces a new lottery winner every 60 seconds. Every hash you submit is equivalent to buying more lottery tickets.  But since there's so many people buying so many tickets, each one decreases your own chances.  One day you might get 3 in a row.  Other days you might not get any.  That's where the law of averages comes into play, as long as you average it out over a long enough period of time, you will see you are getting rewards at a predictable rate.

Edit: Also, the general rule of thumb is that you should only solo mine if you have enough hash power to consistently solve at least one block per day.  Otherwise you will get way too much variance and it will mostly just be an exercise in frustration.
