No.  I don't believe any changes were made or are planned to be made on git.  It is a separate payout system developed for NastyPool that is written in a different computer language (C vs Python).

Gotcha. So he made the changes on git I presume - can you ask him to post a link to it?

Thanks  

Ah, I see it now - was looking for a different address - thanks  

I presume you've changed the p2pool code - is there a link to it anywhere?

It is of course connected to the p2pool share chain (and we announced our plan to offer this more than a year ago).  The goal for us was to improve upon the back of p2pool, not try and steal the idea.  The address we're using for our custom payout system is 1NastyBTCcxbAQQ22kEijbXqgyBPRujftL and should be independently verifiable as mining on the p2pool share chain.

Is it me - or is everyone jumping on the decentralized p2pool band wagon?

@Ognasty: Is your pool connected to the p2pool share chain? The only way this will benefit p2pool is if you were, & I can't see it anywhere. Or am I just not getting it?  

I have also had bad luck lately.  I have 10TH/s (from only 7 miners) and recently went 10-11 hours without a share, and have gone 6 hours without a share many times over the past 5 days. My "expected time to share" is under 2 hours.  I am not sure if that statistic is accurate anymore.  I'm having a hard time convincing myself to stay with P2Pool.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm starting to understand a little more.
I'd like to be able to play with this and other settings but, it's unclear to me what happens if I restart the p2pool service on my local node.  Can I restart p2pool and have it pick back up where it left off, or do I need to wait some period of time after restarting to see if my changes affected anything?  Is there a penalty when I shut my service down and my miners fail over to an external p2pool service?  I understand that with the randomness of what we're doing this is not set in stone, my question is if there is something built in to p2pool to force me to wait after a restart of the service.  I see mention of a ramp up time, is p2pool doing something specific during the ramp up, or is that just referring to the time it takes to wait for random luck?

It's more like saying, I'm using one of those card dealing machines from Vegas to deal me 3 cards a second.  For the last two weeks I've gotten 1-3 four of kinds every 24 hours, then for 35 hours, I get zero, and I think a card got stuck in the machine.  I did finally get a share today but, then it got orphaned.  Is it normal with 2TH/s to have a stretch of 35 hours with no share?  Is 2.5TH/s big enough to compete in p2pool?  If we're talking about random odds, it seems less likely that I would go that long without getting a share than it does that I would get three shares in a day.  I'm fine if this is normal, just trying to learn what to expect, and trying to make sure my systems are configured correctly.

The statement regarding not getting a share is the same as saying:
I picked a card 20 times and didn't get a Jack - there's something wrong with the deck of cards.

Got an email this morning from Bitmain announcing, among other things, the launch of AntPool.
