I'm also have an issue of not recieving funds from the last block that was found it gives me an amount but it doesn't show up in my wallet transactions.
I was hoping to use my exchange to cut down on fees. I know they say not to do that but i have been doing it on my exchange from all of my mining and it works just fine. Is there a reason for me not to on the p2p network.
Unlike most other pools, p2pool pays you from the reward generation transaction. In other words, you get newly minted coins. Some exchanges don't play nicely with newly minted coins - they expect the coins to come from a known input transaction, not generated. That's why you don't mine to an exchange.
I really don't like the idea of mining to a wallet that could crash potentially bad idea. Maybe there should be an added change in code to support exchange deposits would be nice. Thanks dude the fast replies.
