And anyone (everyone?) with an ASIC, having invested hundreds of dollars, will be a "serious miner" in my eyes...
Some people, such as myself, can't really afford the high bandwidth usage of running a node. That's the main reason I switched pools.
Well... a while ago, pyramining briefly switched over to my public node while they were working on some stuff.

I ended up having between 200-400GH/s at the time, and everything seemed to go just fine with my bandwidth, so p2pmining should be ok with the added bandwidth of the ASIC traffic.

If p2pmining would let you use higher diff shares, or maybe they can set up a high-hash node too. They're pretty much doing their own sub-share-chain, so maybe they will do something to accommodate the ASICs.

Not sure if they would tho. It sounded like they came into existence mainly to cater to the smaller miner who needed lower-diff shares.

ps: Krak is in one of the outlying cities/towns that don't have a lot of infastructure to spread around. Rural-ish kind of area. That's where his main bandwidth bottleneck is. They get priced accordingly. Too much demand, not enough supply. So they get capped more. Sad
