Regarding your Bestshare issue - I use it on p2pool and don't have that problem - everything shows up as it should.......
That's just bizarre then. I'm using p2pool from git as of 8/19, I'm not using the standard payout address as the username (since it's a private node, it'll default to the right one) so I can track my miners, and I'm using fixed share size as an experiment to try to keep my DOA rate low (it's not working for my S1 or S2 ~5% avg atm). Also, I'm using a URL of stratum+tcp://address:port.
ie,
stratum+tcp://192.168.0.194:9332
S2+512
abc
What are you doing?
Thanks! Will go to paying off my loan.
I'm hurting on BTC because of the JamesC hosting failure.
