I might just point a few more block erupter USBs at p2pool. That'll save the day!
Do it, please. God knows, we need all the hash we can get atm

What would you call the current hashrate?
Seems to be fluctuating between 1.2 & 2.8 lately tbh - could do with double that though.......
I'd say 1.5 ph/s.
Yeah, it just looks bad.......

This is getting very rough indeed. 
Having the hash rate at 1/2 of what it was not that long ago doesn't help.

For sure. Guess the thread title needs to be edited to reflect that.

While there have certainly been documented cases of malicious users and block withholding attacks on other pools, p2pool is primarily comprised of home miners. It doesn't make any sense for parties to attack the pool because the net effect on the hashing power of the entire network would be minimal at best. As has been pointed out, p2pool is currently a total of about 0.33% of the network. Definitely not a target of opportunity 
The difference you're seeing is the effect of exceptionally bad luck for 2 blocks. When you break it down and evaluate other pools you'll see that while rare, greater than 500% blocks do happen everywhere. Unfortunately for p2pool, when it happens here the effect is more profound because time to block is already high due to the low total hash rate. For example, at 50PH/s, you'd expect to find a block every hour or so. It's far easier to overlook a block that took 2, 3 or even 8 hours. Compare that to p2pool, where finding a block takes a day. Go 8 days without finding a block and it's extremely apparent.

It's luck & variance. Difficulty has gone up also. It happens. Other pools have gone without blocks for longer periods. Patience grasshopper........

Makes one wonder how many people will stick with P2Pool until the next block is found. alot of has power has left. Other pool stats do not look near as bad as p2pool Any change there is a rogue machine sending bad work or something else to prevent blocks being found. I am to new to know enough to figure this out.
But I do think there is more then just bad luck.
Any one want to join the conversation.

Assuming the OP is interested enough to do so
More chance of finding a block than that happening.......

Feels like the last time we found a block, Jesus was a boy.

Man it is hard to believe no blocks in 5 days. Gettin hard to stay mining on my own node. Very much in the red about now...
February 15, 2015, 06:42:28 AM
I've seen worse - but not by much......
I'm sure there's some kind of ancient & scary "block dance" ritual thingy buried in the depths of this here thread

shh... we do not speak of it...
*continues to shake the BTC Rattle of Doom*
My nose crashed day we left for vacation, headed home tomorrow form 75 to -4 degrees, optimistic for some blocks...
"expected time to block: 1.8 days"
