Depends on how quickly our found block, propagates through the bitcoin network. Size and complexity of the block can contribute to how long it takes, but being decentralized, we will still expect orphans.

the rest of the network seems pretty inefficient, w/ 9% stales... so i guess 110% efficiency isn't all that great

i mean, i  get 200ms ping times there anyway
That efficiency, relates to the share chain. If your own efficiency, is in line with the whole network's efficiency rate, then you are where you should be as far as getting your average number of shares.

With a decentralized network, and the rapid rate shares are generated, ~9% of stale/dead shares isn't unusual.

For example, this is my efficiency right now --> Efficiency: ~75.6% (46-96%)

I restarted p2pool a little while ago, so it doesn't have a lot of shares to give a very accurate efficiency yet, however, the pool's efficiency (100% - stale rate%), of 90.2% (stale rate 9.8%), is within my margin for error, 46-96%, so for now, I'm ok. As I get more shares, that spread will get smaller, narrowing down what my actual efficiency is.

As long as my spread, stays where the pool's efficiency falls within my spread, then my proportion of shares should be ok.

Would there be less stales if less transactions were included?  I'm guessing some people have slow connections, etc..

I also couldn't help but to notice:

https://blockchain.info/block-index/240513/000000000000081b10d5246d813087641b51dcbf1711934ed7cde45164409425

so it's sending 200kb of data every time someone finds a share on the network, i guess that would cause a lot of stales?

well, since you seem to know how this works..

What exactly does the 'efficiency' rating indicate? 

it has me bumpuzzled
That measures the percentage of dead/orphan shares you have in comparison to the average of the rest of the network.

That's not how the merged mining works...

Only the primary coin is pooled with the share chain, so computers mining off of your p2pool, can use a specific address, and their address will be injected into the chain, instead of yours, for payouts. Your primary coin would be BTC or LTC depending on the network you set it up for.

All of your --merged mining coins, however, are not pooled. You are strictly solo mining those. You would get the rewards on those. No address gets passed from the miner to the --merged coin.

Anyone mining on your node, would be donating their hash power, towards your solo mining the --merged coin. If you wanted to distribute your --merged coin to the people mining on your node, you have to do that externally, p2pool does not support that.

i have one that's just running for no purpose really myself,

it's at 5.9.24.81:9332

username set to whatever your payout address is

uh, it's also set for merged mining with namecoins.  although as i understand it, you'd actually have to solve a namecoin block and then you'd get ~50nmc.

fee is 0%

it's located in falkenstein, germany

and i'm running the latest bitcoind, 0.6.3rc1

i think it works!

oh, and your namecoin address has to be the same as your bitcoin address

which leads to all sorts of shenanigans, which i'm not going to trifle with!

No, you as the node operator get all the merged mining profits unless you set up a way to distribute them.
really?  oh, that's better then.

i guess i could manually send them out. 

i set that up on a whim, it seems like p2pool isn't very efficient, anyway

RandomQ has taken GreenBTC too far. You have to draw the line somewhere dude.  Cheesy

http://blockexplorer.funkymonkey.org:9335/ updated to 3.1 today.

Had an error after loading the shares the first time starting but the 2nd time starting seems to be fine now.
