In celebration of forrestv merging in the extended API stats pull request, I spun up an old server, refreshed everything, and got a public node online to try it out. Smiley And since I don't mine any more, I rented some hash power to make the stats fill in.

With baseline p2pool and the devel branch of p2pool-node-status we end up with this:

The extended API stats is what allows the per-miner "time to share" info to appear on the interface under the active miners section. It also shows the difficulty target of work last served out to the miner (to earn a share, not to be confused with pseudo difficulty for hash rate calculations).

All miners on the node would be served the same difficulty target in base p2pool, you'd need to apply my vardiffbyaddress patch to make it so small miners work on the lowest difficulty allowed whereas bigger miners have the variable difficulty based on their hashrate. Back in the day on alt coins, it was very cool to watch small miners have lower targets than big miners. (That was the whole motivation for doing it.)

And while supply lasts... bonus fun things!
