Odd, I wasu sure that "final fork" will be automagically in 24hrs from version switch ("old" chain forgot).
Good that huge memory consumer was found.
In fact, I did not noticed that bug on my LTC node ;]

Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Ye, I was surprised by growing v7 from thin air lol. Why we want to delay switch to v8? Forrestv found some bad buggys?Quote
decremented desired_version to 7 to prevent switchover for now
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Yes, there's a bug that Smoovius reported on the Litecoin P2Pool, which would also apply to the Bitcoin one. P2Pool's memory usage can grow without bound after a fork like this if you maintain connections to people mining on both forks. P2Pool is unable to forget about the children of the root node that connects the two forks, due to that operation simply not being implemented. (I assumed that one fork would always lose eventually, resulting in a linear chain whose last node can be forgotten about.)
Anyway, it's fixed in git, and after some more testing, I'll release v9 and the switchover will be triggered when v9 becomes popular. Restarting P2Pool after the switch would have been enough to fix this, but many people don't have something auto-restarting P2Pool if it crashes or even check up on it often.
The switchover happened on the Litecoin P2Pool about a week ago, and went flawlessly other than this issue.

p2pminers are unionized, if they hear you talking about luck they'll take the week off.
We do not use the L word here and do not talk about it in any round about ways. Usually when someone does mention it, things go badly.
Kano, stop spreading FUD. I have luck charms for sale and you're ruining my market.
I'll trade you a Kano for one.

I love P2Pool! Great stuff since August.

How do you donate BTC and LTC into P2Pool development. I couldn't find any wallet addresses anywhere?
Either run your node with the --give-author [percentage] flag or this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/additional-subsidy-for-p2pool-users-1-3btcday-57027Also, forrestv has an address in his sig: 1J1zegkNSbwX4smvTdoHSanUfwvXFeuV23

Since moving the blockchain I haven't had any errors so far. I think it was caused by my c:\ drive being an old IDE drive I stuck in as a replacement when my SATA one failed a couple months ago.

I'm running Win7 64bit with 12gb of RAM and a 3 core 3.0ghz processor and P2Pool is always losing connection to bitcoind. What can I do to keep bitcoin running properly?
edit I created a symbolic link to the Bitcoin folder in appdata and moved the blockchain stuff to a faster drive in my computer. I'll see if this helps.
I have linux VM w/2GB ram running two p2pools and 5 xCoind`s w/o any trouble edit I created a symbolic link to the Bitcoin folder in appdata and moved the blockchain stuff to a faster drive in my computer. I'll see if this helps.
Try exclude bitcoin and p2pool directory form virus scanning.

Open task manager and drop bitcoin priority to below normal.

I'll sell you a luck charm for your soul. Bulk rates apply if you have more than one soul.
Hmm. Methinks that rules out a lot of people here.

What advantage are you gaining running things on the RPi besides looking for things to do with your cool new toy? 
Low power (primarily) and low noise (low priority since FPGAs / ASICs are/will be noisy). I see no need to run a PC or laptop for 50W to 150W (or so) when < 5W does just fine.you can run p2pool on rpi and bitcoind somewhere else, this works.
my bitcoind uses 168mB atm and p2pool 234mB so u would need the newer one (version B). as i said i recommend u to run p2pool and bitcoind somewhere else.

Thanks. Due to memory limitations, I will try this.

What's a normal 'age' for a share submission? After a weird issue with disk corruption I moved p2pool and bitcoind off of the miner hardware to an ubuntu install. getting from 5 to 10+ second 'age' times on 'Got Share' messages, with occasional 30-40 second ages. I'm presuming this is due to the lack of horsepower on the ubuntu system in processing and verifying the share against the chain. (Hint: it's a netbook )
Maybe I should swap to a low/no fee public node, instead.

It should have a mean of approximately 10 s, and be larger than 30 s about 5% of the time.
