Thanks for the donation - very kind of you 

Yup, these baron periods are a killer, but every pool suffers from them. A few quick blocks will have everyone smiling again 

I was thinking, maybe an altcoin tuned for p2pool (P2Pcoin?) would help promote p2pool? There are some very good clients that could be forked & tuned for best results with p2pool, but I particularly like the WLC client with it's demurrage features - maybe this could be changed slightly into creating a "pot" for future development as well as used for donations to forrestv?

Just a thought......
