A white paper for a new decentralized mining pool was released tonight. It requires smart contracts so it is not yet ready for Bitcoin, but they claim to have had success on etherium's testnet.
They also claim to have solved the variance problems p2pool would face if it gained mass adoption.
I plan to fully dive into it as soon as I can, but thought others here might also want to check out the paper...

When using "--merged" with ANY secondary coin, does it matter if the underlying coin has any coding to allow merged mining? Does the secondary coin have to be designed to permit merged mining? or does P2pool circumvent such requirements?
Secondary coin MUST support auxpow.. No auxpow support, its not able to be merge mined with p2pool.

I've just read an article that the lightning network code is written in Go.
Not sure how true that is but says the code runs super quick.

Thx Nonnakip! This looks really promising for some serious P2Pool performance enhancement. Unfortunately I wont have time to play with it till next week, but would love to hear any one elses experience...

p2pool.org is now running Bitcoin 0.13.2
Did you have any time to test my segwit integration?
I have not, yet... does not appear to be at risk of activation anytime soon

Thanks for the feedback. Is there a programmatic way to get the IPs of all the current p2pool nodes? I could use that to have the site automatically update.
That is a good question for windpath.It's really pretty straight forward, however you do want to consider the load you put on the network (i.e. how often you scan for nodes)...
Just pick a node, get the /peer_addresses endpoint, and crawl outward from there.
Example: http://p2pool.org:9332/peer_addresses

The node scanner at p2pool.co is back up and working at http://p2pool.co. It was down for a little while. Please try it out. Feedback is always welcome.
On this node scanner always limited node list. You must manually add them?Why not add all nodes with http://poolnode.info/?

I will go with classic as in my mind it's a better solution to Segwit and cores principles.
I'm not going to argue about whether or not SegWit is good but once it is certain that it will activate P2Pool will have to fork to produce SegWit blocks and if your node doesn't support it by then you will be forked off the P2Pool network.
Yep I'm aware of that. Figure p2Pool might even activate before the rest of the network as well.
Guess that's something I'm going to have to go with to stick with P2Pool.
I got a test node running at
http://81.131.94.77:9332/static/
It's not been tweaked for efficiency as it's running on my Centos box at home.
Slow processor, lack of memory slow hard drives.
At least I can get it up and running, I've got a half broken S7 mining to it now.
Gives me a few days to play around with it until the new rack server arrives on Tuesday.
Once that's in I'll use a spare IP at the office and it can sit on our leased line and on the same subnet as my Miners.
Then I can get down to some serious tweaking.
Cool, enjoying the ride.
