Can you use the /min parm?
  I have had mixed results with it in the past.

Hi,
Love the pool!

I have been giving a decent amount of hash rate until about 7 days ago.

Around then I began getting better returns from other pools.  
IMHO, it's because the large number of miners is causing issues.

Am I correct?
Any more feedback on this situation? (I know you mentioned something about this previously)

LOL
IMHO, CryptoCurrency in general, is "Play at your own risk".

I like the consolidation of the endpoints, it will make it easier.
  How about using westhash, or somewhere else, as a failover point?

IMHO, the reduction in information provided for "foreign" orders will make bidding a more cautious exercise.
Some things I will no longer be able to take a guess at:
  - How long the market will likely be stuck in it's current status
  - If an order is being recharged or will it die
  - If an order is having issues and is likely to have spill-over (Especially for unlimited orders)
  - Other things I choose not to disclose 

I am not saying I will not use nicehash, I still like it, but it will decrease the amount of BTC I am willing to risk, i.e. give you.
  An Edit:  in the investment markets we see price, volume, age, partial transactions, and more....more than you originally were providing.

In general, I do not use the order list and only use the live market place in rare circumstances.
