cgminer will actually connect to stratum with http:// or just a straight IP:port.  It's not part of the spec, but it makes sense that if getwork isn't detected it should try Stratum before giving up.

It would be a good idea to implement the x-stratum header on your getwork pool while it's still up to redirect people to the stratum server. cgminer doesn't care when the header is added - as soon as it detects it it will switch to the stratum pool if it's alive.

I know what you said, but what happened was my automatic payout didnt work one day. When i checked my acct the payout address is gone (i believe server had some issue and you fixed it)
My namecoind full node was hosted remotely and i didnt want to keep track of multiple wallets so... Fast forward, i had to shut down the node and saved my backup wallet. I need to import the wallet with a new namecoind client to receive payout. I plan to do it tmr evening. Do i have time?

Is there a 24 hour payout stat for PPS somewhere? I looked under the PPS Statistics but did not see it anywhere.

not at the moment

DGM is Ozcoin's preferred payout method, If I were to stop a payout method it would be PPS.
We have a new front end for the site in development, rather get that in place than mess around too much with current site.

looking into setting up a proxy on port8332 so getwork only miners can still mine V2 blocks
this will mean merged mining of Namecoin will cease

cool
know how you feel, every diff change price edges up enough to keep me in the game, don't know how long that can be sustained though
