Christ.... we have another BE BLADE situation here? Can't they do proper LP/work restart implementation? 
That's what happens when... ah fuck it I'm sick of saying the same shit every time. You all know the drill by now.

Thanks. I'll do that. I've just dropped to another pool until I can get it sorted but I'm a fan of the p2pool concept.

Right it's not DOA and stales, when it's pushed new work it takes 10 seconds or more to flush and come back up to speed. The miner reports 300 Ghash and the pool reports 350. Not a huge issue on 10 min blocks, but not very good on 30 sec work.

Well Jupiters don't play well with p2pool. They remind me of the early BFL FPGAs, they are extremely slow to recover when they get new work. Anyone have any settings to to try out?
What's exact stats you're getting? How many DOA?
I am seeing higher stale rates from KNC equipment so it looks like they are not flushing work when the stratum server requests but are instead finishing old work and submitting it.

Mining with 60Ghash so fine at moment.
At what point would it better for my variance if the pool split into 2?
Currently 2hrs to get a share and 8 for pool to get a block.
Once the pool is getting blocks 3 times more often than I get a share (so I miss out on some payments) would it at that point be benifical for me for the pool to split into 2?

ok, i'll take a shot - this is an approximation, I'm not 100% sure it's analytically correct but it may be close at least...
assuming each share solved a day has the same value (i.e., constant pool rate, constant difficulty across the day)
Payout events per day = the number of shares you find times the number of shares the pool finds, per day.
number of shares you find = your_rate/pool_rate*2880 +/- sqrt(your_rate/pool_rate*2880)
number of blocks pool solves = pool_rate/network_rate*144 +/- sqrt(pool_rate/network_rate*144)
number of payout events in a day=your_rate/network_rate*414720
variance in payout events = sqrt(your_rate/pool_rate*2880+pool_rate/network_rate*144)
variance has a minimum when pool_rate=20*sqrt(your_rate*pool_rate)
for a 5 GH/s miner, optimal p2pool hash rate is around 50 TH/s
60 Gh/s, optimal p2pool hashrate is around 175 TH/s
i did this on a cell phone, so there probably are errors, but I think it's all there
I know of one: payout events per day is actually
(# of shares found in a window = 3x the work needed for one block)/(length of a window)
However, our window is now 1 day long, approximately on average, so the above approximation holds for the time being

” Graphs
Version: 13.3
Pool rate: 15.9TH/s (12% DOA+orphan) Share difficulty: 70300

my speed is 82g,but in p2pool.info it show my speed is 66g !
does everyone knows about my speed is slower?
why it show : Efficiency: 80.54% and 66g ?

Guys, I don't know what's going on but I haven't had a payout in a long time. I think P2Pool version has moved on and I'm sitting mining on my own. I haven't had the time to pay attention recently but every time I've looked at the p2pool screen, it's been happily scrolling along with no apparent warnings. I have no problem with upgrades, I have no problem with obsoleting versions but when we do it, could we make it a bit more obvious, please? It's one thing to pay out more or less than other pools but if you're not paying out at all, that's going to put a dent in things pretty quickly. This is not a demand, just a courteous request. I don't have --give-author set to 0 so you're sharing the love.
In the days before the switch, your P2Pool instance would have been displaying a lot of messages and warnings about the impending change, but once it's happened, your instance is alone with only the other nodes that didn't upgrade and there's no easy way for it to know that it should have upgraded. (I suppose it could see that there are lots of peers with higher version numbers that refuse to talk to it...)

I think the reason you are not finding this documented in the P2Pool stuff is because it's not specific to P2Pool. I assume you are merge-mining to a namecoind running locally on your machine? If so, if/when you get a block, the namecoind will send the payout to you on an address it created. If you then run 'namecoind getinfo', you will see the mined coins in your balance.
Thank for replying. You assume correctly about namecoin running locally.
So what you are saying is, there is no way to actually specify a payment address, it'll just go to the NMC node like I assumed it would.
Thanks.

Hey all, I have a question.
I am merge mining NMC, but where exactly are the payouts going to go to? To the NMC node's wallet? Can I specify a specific address somewhere? There's literally NO info about this anywhere.

is there a list of p2pool instances (for LTC and BTC) somewhere?
Try https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/updated-current-p2pool-server-list-264533 for the list on here.
An automated list is available at http://p2pool-nodes.info/

If I setup a p2pool node and want to make it available to public (well it is already available to people who find it :p), is there a list of p2pool instances (for LTC and BTC) somewhere?

This is a do-it-all machine, so I didn't mind spending the cash on the drives. They do the p2pool stuff, they host up to 8 VMs, and they use less than 1W when running. The big data for the rest of the house (movies, TV shows, Music, etc) is stored on a pair of 4TB 5900rpm drives which spend most of the day spun down.
It's about as power efficient as I can get it - 430W 80Plus Gold PSU, Asus B75 chipset board, 65W i5, integrated iGPU - it's a fast machine considering at full chat it only uses 80W. Typically it's around 50W.
