Does anyone have any information on what has happened to Litecoinpool.org

Site has been down for at least 20 minutes.

newlc.ozco.in is also under ddos.

Guess looking for some smaller, less well-known pools can be worth the effort.

I switched to P2Pool and it works really well.

Plus it's better for the strength of the network because it is decentralized.

It took me about 6 minutes to set it up, so it's really not that tough.

As for transaction bloat -- I just have a separate wallet for my P2pool deposits.
