more hashes showing up, looking fwd to good streaks again.

Oh p2pool is a nasty mistress... Rent a bunch of hash and no blocks for 8 days... All shares fall off the chain... Find 2 blocks.
Bummer buddy, I've had in the past some streaks where my payout would be 2x of what was expected, only to find the next block just as it dropped to 0.5x, it does work both ways though

I remember saying something about luck doesn't exist. But maybe it came out HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

and two... so while a bunch of you guys jumped off and my shares have gone up, I picked a very good day to rent some hash power.

+1
The pool is compensating as designed, fewer blocks, higher payout...

This demonstrates the scalability problem perfectly, hash rate drops & blocks are found, hash rate rises & blocks go scarce again. The higher the network hash rate gets, the worse the problem becomes apparent. This is one of the reasons why p2pool will never grow beyond a certain size until the scalability issue is fixed. It's a crying shame & I still miss it, but as others have said, it's simply pointless throwing more hash at p2pool until a fix is found that cures the scalability & variance issues.
I hope it happens soon

come join my pool if you're in asia http://captminerp2pool.ddns.net:9332/static/ ... go go go back to the glory days while we hunt for a fix
it's growing to 2PH/s

Can't see why one would bail: Luck is luck, if the pool has some time without blocks there will be time with blocks. This is the same for Slush, Eclipse, Eligius, BTC50, and whatever other pool you decide to use. It's basic statistics, you will not get a better deal anywhere else because there *is* no better deal.
There are however worse deals :-)
P2Pool is distributed, with no central place that a govt can choke. That's why I like it and why I'll stick with it as is.
Mine on!

and a block !
March 04, 2015, 02:29:54 PM
No.
March 04, 2015, 02:05:44 PM
am very aware of it's potential benefits, but unless software is kept updated, is constantly developed and issues ironed out - it will become obsolete, as has happened with p2pool.
block is power.
P2Pool is 1,5PH/s.
Bitcoin network is 351 PH/s.
nothing to update here ... P2Pool block every 3-4 days.
no ? March 04, 2015, 11:59:07 AM
if no action within a month or so (imo) looks like dying is the option.
tbvh, smaller miners are becoming bigger closer to TH/s range, the ghs range is fading away.
i think if the share difficulty issue can be fixed, p2pool shall rise quickly ( i personally will put in a min of 500 th/s) & start to hit multiple blocks daily again.
it's just me prolly but i always have a feeling that there's a fix for sure or someone out there knows how to fix it but just not wanting to fix it.

Well, I'm sorry to have to say that after using p2pool for nearly 3 years I am forced to move my hash away to a centralized pool.
Holy moly dude, never thought I'd see the day when you left p2pool - welcome to the self-destructing & boring world of centralized mining
I think the attacks on Forrest are unjustified. P2Pool is a brilliant work.
P2pool was brilliant work 2 years ago, which is pre-historic in software terms. Now it is just old, outdated & clunky abandonware. I don't think anyone is interested in playing the blame game here, many months of that have got p2pool absolutely nowhere & is why it is in it's current state.
Re-write & improve or die. Simple as that.

a complete lack of communication & development by a dev who has been accepting donations while doing nothing to address these issues.
I think the attacks on Forrest are unjustified. P2Pool is a brilliant work. The accepted donations when accounting the times they were taken total only $1358! That is a f*cking joke. You want to blame someone? Blame the P2Pool miners that gutted all the fun out of this project so that its benevolent maintainer lost interest.
EDIT: I missed $23384 of donations.
March 04, 2015, 10:22:52 AM
Are there any other developers interested in taking on this project and fixing it? How would we even go about fixing the inherent issues? Would it be better to start from scratch or work off of the current codebase?

Can't see why one would bail: Luck is luck.....
P2pools problems have absolutely nothing to do with luck, you are only kidding yourself by thinking this is the case. The issues with p2pool have been very well documented & discussed here over the last 2 years, I suggest you scroll back & read the thread again. The problems are compatibility, scalability, variance & a complete lack of communication & development by a dev who has been accepting donations while doing nothing to address these issues. The fact that so many long term users like myself have finally given up with trying to get something done to fix these problems only highlights this.
I have been a very vocal supporter of p2pool for 3 years & am very aware of it's potential benefits, but unless software is kept updated, is constantly developed and issues ironed out - it will become obsolete, as has happened with p2pool.
