Luck is not the issue here. To get a proper p2pool we need the good parameters and a lot of MH/s. VTC p2pool is above 200MH/s, and that's good. Anyway there is an issue here the share parameter window is too high here, that prevents us to do coins switching when the difficulty is updated. (*24 is too high, I think *4 is OK...).
And to get a lot of p2pool nodes we must avoid confusion.
Ahh now you tell the real issue you have with the settings.
I highly suggest you go with traditional Pool if you want to often switch Coins. Thats not the typical Scenario P2Pool was designed for.
Also the whole switch+mine+dump mentality makes me really sick. Im into cryto for profits too but not at all costs!!
Imho just look at VTC to see what this does to a very promising looking coin.
Anyways if you want to discuss this further join IRC #p2pool-panda or PM me, no reason to Spam the whole Thread with our P2Pool issues.
Traditional pool are worst for such an usage too. You will lost a lot of GPU power, dead on arrival may be very high. And most pools use now PPLNS, too avoid switch at the block level, here it makes senses, the block value is random like doge, mining a block close to 1 is worthless... Anyhow I don't think you expect this coin to be over doge in the long run. Don't you?
And i'm pretty sure that you never expected Doge to become that big, didnt you ?
Indeed, No...
