I'm still mining with Eligius and I've been trying to give benefit of the doubt, exercise patience and stick it out here, but I'm seriously starting to consider pointing my miners somewhere else since the updates are few and far between and there is no definitive timetable for when everything will be back up. Sorry to hear about all the troubles with the transition, but this is really dragging out and getting tough to wait on with so many other pools out there.
I'm also curious about the question asked about segwit. Some big pools have committed themselves recently to support particular scaling solutions one way or the other. I think I also read some pools are letting miners vote their individual preference, but I couldn't find anything regarding it at all when searching this topic or on eligius.st
Finally got the block.

I was just perusing which pools are signalling segwit yet and notice this one is still not signalling segwit (though I recall you saying something about doing it at some stage in the future?) And it's an empty block despite being almost 2 minutes after the previous block D:
