Topic: [POLL] Why don't you mine in p2pool? - page 2. (Read 3281 times)
Other: the need to run a node. It eats up bandwidth and cpu power. Plus you need high bandwidth and good connectivity to get low stales/DOA. Sure, you can use a p2pool node, but they're not as "trusted" as most pools.
mine 3 days but no block found..... 
Mine one day, 5 blocks found.... It's called variance.
Where is the "I do mine on p2pool" option?
I simply don't know how to connect my RaspPi with Erupters and several BFLs to it without having a compsci degree.
You can go here http://p2pool.hostv.pl/ or here http://p2pool-nodes.info/ , choose a node with best latency/fee/efficiency combination and mine on it just like you mine in a centralised pool! This is still much better for network health than mining on major pools causing monopolisation and centralisation of Bitcoin.

Bump. Need more stats, please vote!
Don't forget "unsuitable hardware"
I think there are not so many BFL owners here... yet
BFL ASICs are 10 TH at most, Avalon are about 40 now. Not too much.
I have 80GH of ASICs which is more than 10% of p2pool atm. One minirig (which I don't have) is more than half the size of p2pool.
I mean if you subtract it from total hashrate, you get about 100TH non-BFL/Avalon devices, which is still more than 100 times higher than p2pool hashrate! Also, unsuitable hardware is the only principal restriction that cannot be overcome. It's essential that these devices don't mine in p2pool. But I am rather curious what makes the rest 100TH mine in centralised pools.

What other reasons are possible?
1. Don't want to.
2. Don't want a bag of pennies.
2. In most cases they can be joined for no fee. It will take a couple of days though.

What other reasons are possible? I can't understand why the pool makes only less than percent of total network hashrate!
