It's my fault. I mentioned that the hash rate was up and we should expect fewer of these long rounds. I forgot the most important rule about luck which is you never talk about not having bad luck.
The first rule of luck is that we do not talk about luck.

What's up with this bad luck? 5 days and no blocks! Nothing this bad in the entire 90-day history on p2pool.info, and our hash rate is up. I'm starting to lose it guys 
difficulty keeps increasing. I think faster than the pool hash. looks like people are bailing, so variance is going to get worse. will make it easier to get shares though.

Actually we've been growing faster than difficulty for the past 1-2 months, and it hasn't increased yet this time (1-2 more days). Just bad luck is all there is to it. People bailing is likely true and unfortunate, but unavoidable.

Bogey?
I much prefer these 5 day waits - 4 days just goes so quick......

so.. my local node is working great. I'm above average on stale rate, my estimated payout is quite larger than "ideal payout"..
now if we could just get one of those things that start with a b... and is 5 letters long.

I have a dedicated VPS node running bitcoind and p2pool and getting 5.8% DOA on local rate on 150Gh/s. Everything running smooth and am now awaiting my first p2pool block.
what company are you using and how much is it? I was considering the same thing and I couldn't find anything that had enough disk space for the entire btc chain w/o paying a bit more.

Check out CrownCloud.net: https://crowncloud.net/clients/cart.php
They have two VPS offers that are frequently sold out, but are spectacular for P2Pool. Look for "OpenVZ-3072-Yearly" under "OpenVZ - Los Angeles" and "OpenVZ-3072-Yearly-DE" under "OpenVZ - Frankfurt". Both are 3GB RAM, 50GB HDD, 8 virtual cores. Both are $15 for 6 months or $30 annually. Even better, CrownCloud both explicitly supports Bitcoin nodes (though not cloud mining) in their TOS, AND takes payment in BTC.
Like I said, both are usually sold out. I was able to nab one by following them on Twitter and snapping one up as soon as they announced availability.
I've used other providers as well, but the headache of explaining to them the difference between a bitcoin/P2Pool node and bitcoin cloud mining makes it not worth the hassle.

Hey.. I've opened a bitcoin node in Portugal and hopefully I'll be able to drag some hashpower to the p2pool network.

Please feel free to help me improve this node!

Thanks. 30gb drive is close. would be really close if you tried merged mining. I take it you're using linux?

Do you have a link to this? I am still using this patch as it seems to be working well: https://github.com/CartmanSPC/p2pool/commit/17ac31aec971237984f7dac457b5eec14e75ffdc
Hi Cart! You can review it here
https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/187
However there's nothing wrong with my original little fix if you don't want the auto-worker-diff options that iongchun added.

Is anyone having issues with Bitcoind/Bitcoin-QT v0.9.0?
I updated my P2Pool to v0.9.0 and I am getting an error now after restarting the server that it's lost connection with Bitcoind. Yet up until this point, I upgraded it a day after v0.9.0 came out its been running fine and transactions have been flowing.

I had problems - high latency, cpu peaks & connection errors like you - I gave up on it & went back to 0.8.6

iongchun also added an alt coin related fix for DIFF 0 work so I removed my pull request for that, since auto-worker-diff is all inclusive.

What's the possibility of merging your tweaks, especially for the smaller miners, back up into forrestv's master branch?
I've sent in pull requests already and also for iongchun's auto-worker-diff branch which lets you have nice control over pseudo share difficulty. (This was better than my own little hack for pseudo shares so I dropped mine and use his myself.) iongchun also added an alt coin related fix for DIFF 0 work so I removed my pull request for that, since auto-worker-diff is all inclusive. My share difficulty change (branch vardiffbyaddress) was adopted by vertcoin p2pool repo when we did the hard fork long ago, so it's actually live network wide for them.
I still have more changes to the vardiff algorithm I want to test and such so my node will always run whatever experiment I'm doing at the time.
For the worker 'time to share' type stuff, I put in pull requests to p2pool for the minerstats branch and to p2pool-node-status as well.
