Its as easyer to find a block with btc conf 1000000 than nothing less, dead and orphan shares rise their heads with that setting. But im feeling that bitcoind works somehow better with stock settings or even + something. Ive found 5 or 6 blocks after may - and bfore that with 0.05 fees and so none. 182x is lucky number maybe
Stock settings might be the best?

No clue why the limit... maybe it made sense when forrestv wrote the code... bandwidth limitations and transaction/share propagation speed... would be nice to hear forrest's view. Can it be changed? Absolutely... just add a zero to the end of it and make it 500,000. Not sure how well the rest of the p2pool network would react to you doing that, though

the problem is, per default p2pool cant include a tx that is bigger than 50kB, which is a shame!
Is there a reason for this, & if so what is it? Would it be possible to change it & would it be worthwhile doing so?
Sorry for the rapid-fire questions......

Question: Why limit it to "50 kB of new txns/share"?

Question: Why limit it to "50 kB of new txns/share"?
was asking forrestv about it, but he didnt respond. created a hackish fix in my repo.Hehehe, I wasn't in a right "state of mind" back then...still questionable now.
I see that you increased it to 500 kB in your fork and imagine it was the solution to mining those "stuck" ANC transactions.
Like zvs said...probably done to avoid an orphan due to block size.

is there anywhere any list of hardware miners with optimal firmware and settings to be used with p2pool node?
as far as I know the only hw miner I know capable to be used with p2pool without any changes are spondoolies but I can be wrong.
is it better to let hw miners alone to mine to their own address or is it more efficient to let them mine to just one address using -a parameter?
actually I am using ubuntu node with bitcoin core v0.11.0.0-gd26f951 (I have tried some bitcoin.conf restrictive options but finaly I do not use them, I only let some addnode list) with gbt latency 0.326s (daily average), p2pool node forrests https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool (only restrict to 5 incomming nodes, adding some low latency nodes using -n) and run 3 sp20s there mining each to its own btc address. My sp20s are with fw 2.6.14 and cgminer 4.8.0 using extranonce option.
I tried the extranonce one time when I came back from westhash after the "great spike" on my SP20's and they "seemed" to be getting less shares. As we all know this could have just been bad timing. I run them without the extranonce, doing so puts the unit back to cgminer 4.7.0. I have the same F/W as well. I run these two at around 1100 GHs with a start voltage of .62 and a max of .625. My fans are set to auto and run at "6", this might be different for you depending on you ambient room temp. The S5 I have running at the default 350 setting but with the Kano cgminer 4.9 version, the original version is crap. I average between .07 - .05 for a payout with ~3.33 TH for reference. I have got up to .1 before when people bailed on the pool in February. I point these to one address. If you are getting higher payouts please let me know. as far as I know the only hw miner I know capable to be used with p2pool without any changes are spondoolies but I can be wrong.

Pretty sure I was the last one to update this when the S3 came out...

And then p2pool goes and finds two blocks more. That's a nice feeling as well .
.GET IN THERE!!

Always nice to get one of those "surprise" blocks 
Seems to be a lot of miners panicking on other pools due to bad luck recently, which makes it even sweeter
Yes it is Seems to be a lot of miners panicking on other pools due to bad luck recently, which makes it even sweeter
. You take a look at your front end and say, "Well, that sucks, we haven't found a block in a while." Then take a look at your wallet and see a new mined transaction and say, "Oh... somebody's orphaned/dead share found a block!" 
July 23, 2015, 04:03:47 AM
just a note - it seems probably some p2pool miners, merge mining huntercoin may not have updated for the hardfork.

good thing to notice, since default tx size limit is 100kb in client, or used to be anyway (i've not looked in a year or more)
suppose you'd want to change that to 50,000, to avoid having some otherwise valid p2pool share orphaned out
.... but there'd be other transactions too, maybe i'm missing something in p2pool code? boggle

hah, just was checking what that gbt latency would go to with max block size set to 1MB and noticed that p2pool got a block,
from a share that was orphaned on the p2pool chain. hoho

ben mininig for 1.6 days now and still Payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC what does this meen ? do i need more THS?
here is the link to the node : 85.165.223.226:9332

Yes, I have the same problem.. still 0 and I can't do anything with it, I'm really sad
If you want to mine on P2Pool and you don't have a high enough hashrate to submit accepted shares at least once per block period, you should try mining on NastyPool with the NastyPoP payout method. It will allow you to receive weekly payouts no matter your hashrate. Here's the page to get started: https://nastyfans.org/nastypool/ No signup is required and it is still a P2Pool node.

P2Pool is serious ... wait 1 month.
