Steadymining was up for several hours - they posted a note saying they were closing their nyancoin pool and to withdraw your coins - then a little while later the site went down again.
Seems very suspicious that they would close the pool considering the 100x increase in network hashrate over the last 4 days. If you still have coins with them withdraw ASAP if the site comes back online.
However your note "the site went offline" is nonsense; We have no trust, nor interest in this coin. So, yes, please take out your coins asap. Thanks.

Update for miners at SteadyMining;
Our pool setup currently consists of four machines, of which one handled the USDe pool and frontend. This machine came under attack by a botnet around 16.00 CET this afternoon. Since we pay for a 95-percentile of 1gbit bandwidth, and were continuously exceeding this limit, we decided to shut down the machine at the IP address under attack.
First off; For the anxious ones; No data, nor coins, were lost.
Several hours later, when restarting the machine for a couple of seconds, we were able to see the attack was still going on.
Therefore, we've dedicated one of the three other machines to the USDe pool - and - spent a couple of hours migrating all services, wallet, and database.
This machine will run the pool, until we are certain we can restart the pool on our bigger and faster blade. This machine however, only has a 100mbit connection - however we doubt any difference may be noticed by miners, until we'd hit over a gigahash. So - no worries there.
However, as soon as we know our other IP address "is being left alone" - we'll switch back to that blade, which will require approximately another 10 minutes of downtime. All preparations for this task have been done, so it's just a matter of waiting out the attack.
For now - all seems to have been tested, and running properly. You can continue mining, or, withdraw your coins, at any time.
Footnote; DNS records have been changed to point at a new ip for this machine. You may need to clear DNS cache.
(And as a final note - whoever is running the attacks, _please quit_ -- however doubtful one would listen to such a request.)
Right. Time for some sleep.
