if i have to move back fine.... but it will cost me decreased shares for 24-48 hours... which is close to half the remaining time to mine this coin...... crappy, but oh well, I may move to a regular pool then.
for this coin the chain is only 12 hours long for pplns - so it would cause some lost shares - yes. That is what happens when you switch networks. That happened last night as well when omarg switched to his own network.
Looking at the blocks in block explorer... I should have searched for blocks in first place instead of wallet addresses, but anyways.... it seems to be much better since 10:05:13 GMT today, but really bad before that...
Well you can not account all the found blocks as the same amount as you would hv found if it would be one network.
Remember - slower diff on the wrong node with high hashrate leads to many blocks found that are not accounted. It isn't as easy as saying that the same amount of blocks _was_ lost - but could have been lost. I cannot say how many in total where lost since difficulties were different
There must have been one of the bigger nodes that was on wrong fork, or a bunch of them..... I haven't seen any of the discussion between the P2P operators, but I sort of agree with OmarG's original idea of PM'ing him for updated code.

It was one node with constant 12mh - but if the difficulty was low , that accounted for many wrongly submitted blocks.
Please again if you need clarification about how p2pool works, pm or message me in irc. I really don't appreciate speculation and wrong facts
Given all the syncing issues I am reading about.... I think its a good idea to verify that the pool operators are on proper fork before giving them the code to start a node. What do you guys think?
It is, but then again remove the access to the old code... who the hell can see from this messy thread what code to use or whom to message?
There has been nearly to 0 communication between pool owners .. even beforehand I asked the Dev if OmarG is still gonna provide the source or if we need to make it by our own... no reply/response
So please tell me how the hell we are supposed to work together? I was even in the irc chan on freenode from day -1 to prepare and see whats going on because I cared!
just as a reference, I verified all the blocks that were not paid out on the original P2P, marked as bad. turns out to be quite a lot.
Does this timeline line up with when the p2p pools figured out the issue ?
[..]
these are accurate, you can easily verify that by going to
http://p2pools.cryptoprojects.eu:9333/static/ and just clicking on the links below, they use the proper explorer...
once again as I wrote earlier - the numbers are not correct, since we found more blocks than entitled to to the lower difficulty on the node with the wrong chain. It was easier to find a block there, that is why it killed performance for the others.
On the other hand, once the node was on the right chain, everyone got paid for the last shares also ... So the dark number of lost blocks/coins is far below what you can see there. It is just not accountable for, since noone exactly can predict a seperate blockchain/timeline
All in all - P2p is working fine - omarG switched back and we are finding blocks that are payed out.

,even with 3phase electric you could not get that kind of hashing power.are you going to tell us how?
