To encourage users to use P2Pool, I'm sending 1-3btc every 24hrs to all the miners on P2Pool (proportionally).
I wish that someone did the same these days...

I wish that someone did the same these days...
Why is it that p2pool is (as stated in an earlier post on this topic) considered to incur more losses than other pools? I thought it was marginally better .. wonder which is right? ;-)
Thanks!
I just used some bitcoins from the Bitcoin Faucet fund to compensate the p2pool miners who's block was orphaned in the Big Chain Fork.

I must say this was unexpected and a very pleasant surprise. Thanks !

Sounds great. I'd be willing to take a bribe/bung/payoff or whatever you want to call it to come back & mine there. But it would have to be an ongoing thing, say, a weekly payment that will cover my losses compared to mining at a functional pool.
I'd also want my frontal lobotomy paid for. Up front of course......

i think subsidys could atract new miners (since we need more GH) to p2pool, anyone interested in reviving this?
nope
2bad. I've just updated the p2pool client to v8.2

Is anyone still doing this?
Yep. Another one.

Setting up one server for multiple miners isn't that much more work. I think the bigger issue, and it is more easily solved, is monitoring. I think a monitoring tool like BAMT's mgpumon would really help push some farms over, especially if it could send out alerts of idle miners (like many pools do). I'll put up 5BTC for any monitor that I can access over ssh with a browser to monitor rigs running cgminer to a single p2pool node. And another .5 for 10 days to join coretechs if someone can tell me how to do it from a gui wallet.

This. Trying to cram p2pool and blockchain into BAMT or Linuxcoin is hugely wasteful, complicated and likely going to lead to all kinds of problems. Anyone suggesting it likely doesn't have more than 1 or 2 rigs.
Most large miners have a setup like this:
BAMT on rig #1 \
BAMT on rig #2 \
BAMT on rig #3 \
... / ------> conventional mining pool
BAMT on rig #11 /
BAMT on rig #12 /
Having 12 copies of block chain and 12 instances of p2pool and 12 payment address (or yet another thing to configure across 12 machines) make absolutely no sense when you can do this
BAMT on rig #1 \
BAMT on rig #2 \
BAMT on rig #3 \
... / ------> machine on the LAN running p2pool (or public p2pool instance)
BAMT on rig #11 /
BAMT on rig #12 /
For the same reason cgminer integration is likely a dead end. Anyone with 2+ rigs is better served by having a "p2pool" machine. It doesn't even need to be a mining rig.
Someone made a donation to the address I list on p2pool.info. Over the next few days, I will be sending it to the p2pool miners using the patron_sendmany algorithm.

It is an address of my mtgox account.
Are mtgox accounts ok with "generation" transactions? Some online wallets don't like those.In blockchain.info I can see mtgox is moving some amounts out of this address but my balance doesn't change after the moves nor this moves appear inside my mtgox transaction log.
There is a small miner pool built into the send many. People who are below a certain point are entered into a lottery and one person randomly gets the reward. This is to cut down on very many very small transactions.
Or change the threshold to 0: http://forre.st:9332/patron_sendmany?total=1&thresh=0. The default threshold is 0.01 (people who would be paid under 0.01 are in the 'lottery'), because outputs below 0.01 will result in needing a fee.

So what is my problem?
