Thanks for the chart. Sucks that they left p2pool, I wonder they did. Gotta figure out a way to get more power on the pool!
more reliable nodes ? spread the word, more support for each other & developments for p2pool
i have 2 myself & helped a buddy to make 1 on his own.
I have been thinking about making my private node public to help out a bit, but I have no idea where to start with that. Are there any guides? Here's what it looks like locally, I've been meaning to ask whether it is performing as well as it should be:
...
I'd appreciate any feedback on the node's performance. It's running on high end hardware, SSD, and is connect to the internet VIA a 175/175Mbps fiber optic connection.
Performance looks great, would not mess with it.
To open it up to the public make sure ports 9332 and 9333 are open to the public and map to your p2pool server on your LAN...
The current design of p2pool has a fatal flaw.
The more hashpower it has, the higher the share difficulty gets, which knocks out "smaller" miners.
The less it has, the easier it is for smaller miners, but the longer it is from blocks.
Can't have your blocks and miners too.

That could be aided by big miners setting higher difficulty shares right?
There is a minimum amount of hash power to expect a share in each block found, as the pool rate increases so does that minimum power requirement.
Right now I'd estimate around 500 GH/s as a safe minimum based on current active miners with payouts.
If you go to the global stats page, click on the active miners tab and sort by estimated hashrate you can get an idea of the minimum.
