No, I am not getting worked up, but I am getting a little irritated seeing the clock keep ticking upwards with no block in site.
I chose eligius as the pool because its the smallest big pool and the best one at the moment. Its not very large so by using them we support a diversified ecosystem. Its also the simplest pool to join, your btc Addy is your username, that simple.
I ask you why your so insistent on staying with p2pool?
You are not acknowledging the fact with the diff change in 2 days our chances of finding a block go down even further.
Your also not recognizing the wasted resources for the past 5+ days.
Why didn't you suggest a multi pool strategy? Even though IMO it would be a waste of hashing power, unless we can find a several petahash p2pool to join.
One last thing, do you not want the extra income nmc would bring?
