Centralisation ... yeah that's gotta be the best solution

@kano
A workable solution yes :p centralized nodes help small and mid market miners which typically avoid p2pool reducing it's network health.
I welcome any miner who use p2pool with a rental proxy like Nicehash, Betarigs or MRR as a backup pool to join us instead.
When buyers and sellers from these proxy pools find p2pool has an option like us, miners will switch to benefit the bitcoin network and further support p2pool.
How true i also welcome any miner to try p2pools for a week to see the results even if they only put 1 or all there miners on it
if you are looking for nodes to join this cool way of mining keeping mining for the miners look at the links below
