It’s all fixed now. Yes, this was a router issue. It seems to hit a connection limit every few weeks and needs to be restarted. I am going to have it auto-restart every week so that this doesn’t happen again. You weren’t wasting electricity if you had a failover pool because you would have been unable to connect to the pool. The problem has only occurred recently because we added the X11 coins to our severs and they essentially doubled the number of connections the router has been handling.

No failover pool was set for me.. My fault I guess

We plan to make sure this router is rebooted regularly, so this doesn’t happen again. Sorry!
I apologize about Syscoin. I’ve been trying to fix a major bug in the beta server and just got it working tonight so that we could get back to testing. I will fix the Syscoin issue when I wake up in about 8 hours.
Syscoin is fixed and paid. The issue was that we never created a new wallet when we upgraded to their version 2 client. It wouldn’t let us send payments using the older wallet.

I added 10 new scrypt coins tonight. One of them, BitConnectcoin seems to be both profitable and very difficult, so pool profitability should be up noticeably.
I fixed that about two hours before your comment. When I added the coin I put the wrong password in the database so we couldn’t contact it to send payments.

No, because that isn’t necessary. extranonce support is required by pools that connect to other pools, like NiceHash. Since we mine coins directly, there is no need for it.
A large increase in hashrate is causing share insertions to be delayed due to high database load. I am working on changing some configuration parameters right now to reduce database load. The indexer for the block explorer is paused while I am making changes; I'll put it back online soon.
