This.
It is a shitty deal for all of us, and taking it out on Nicksasa doesn't help anything. He has a great deal of motivation to keep things running......if we aren't getting paid, neither is he.
I'm sorry, yochdog, but IMHO the point is: since recently we have seen accepted but unpaid shares - which is something actually unusual and scary, at least in my experience, in BTC and now LTC world - and since, if the pool website is down, we cannot check if the accepted shares number and the balance are correctly growing, well, in a spot like this one, a quick message "DDOS on website, but no prob for your shares" IMHO would be greatly appreciated.
As for the sleeping time: thousands dollars/day IMHO mean more than something. I think it wouldn't be too much of an effort to set a ring on the box, just in case something should go wrong... or even to pay someone who stays awake.
IMHO the keywords here are: QUICK and INFO. Nobody's asking for miracles.
Regards.
