Ok, for the glory, i understand this

What node & settings are you using?

Hey, I have a problem
I am not able to connect to this pool, can someone help me.

FWIW the 21 chip was not mining to the node, just wanted to see load with P2Pool and 21 mine running... Again proof of concept, no way a single 21 comp would be able to keep a share in the P2Pool chain.

wait, ask the price before ...  for a 90GH/s performance.
you may be a little surprise of the power vs. price ratio. 

My fork can run both with core and XT but it will publish bip101 blocks if you find one

Badass! 

It's alive! (barely) The 21 Bitcoin Computer running P2Pool (proof of concept)

You mean just your fork there, right?

You can download my fork of p2pool here https://github.com/Hannott/p2pool

I don't know where you can download the latest 0.11D of bitcoinXT right now, but it works with that.
Or you can run Core if you want to, p2pool just tags the block with bip101 regardless

Please forgive me if I missed it but do we have the option of a BIP101 bitcoind with the new p2pool yet?

Yeah, I said that more out of jest/desperation than seriousness......

Like you say, the A6's are just not worth it, unless the BTC rate starts to skyrocket......soooooon 

I have created a pull request that will ensure that the running bitcoind is supporting the correct softforks. The latest 0.11D build of bitcoinXT does support bip65, and works with this fix.

Spondoolies have left the building. Their next generation is for farms only unless they come up with another product (which might happen).

The Avalon A6s will work well with p2pool but as per the last generation they're pricier than the bitmain product.

Just to be clear, you've been able to get your Antminers to work properly by modifying the batch file, as the above posting?

I am debating to not purchase more from Bitmain due to these issues with their miners and p2pool.  Every single antminer I have had to modify in order to get expected performance on p2pool, despite Bitmain claiming native support!  This should have been resolved a year ago.

Reading back through this thread, this has been a problem with bitmain throughout their entire miner range. Many people have asked them repeatedly to fix their driver/cgminer fork problems, but have been completely ignored (the same can be said for their pool support). What makes it particularly annoying is the fact that they lied, and continue to lie about their support of p2pool in their threads - & even go as far as to say that they help decentralize the network!!

We are in a precarious position. The only mining hardware currently available on the planet does not work properly/efficiently with p2pool - the only truly decentralized pool. I have a few S7's & am thinking about buying a couple more, but it pi**es me off that in order to use them effectively I am forced to point them at a centralized pool instead of my preferred choice - p2pool.

As many miners switch off their older (but p2pool compatible) miners due to inefficiency & electrical costs, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for p2pool unless a manufacturer steps up with something to rival bitmain or a dev steps in who can fix the broken bitmain firmware for use with p2pool. I can't hold my breath long enough for that to happen, & the more I think about it, the more I dislike bitmain - both their broken firmware & their empty block producing crappy SPV pool with zero support......

Spondoolies - rescue us please?   

It would be nice if bitmain gave us the option to have control over that. 
Currently we have to run a modified firmware in order to actually submit stale shares?  Changing the flag in the cgminer config has no effect on submits of stale shares??

Thanks for clarifying ck! Btw I've tried to run the cgminer you compiled for the S5 in the S7. it ran but capped the clock speed on 200
