TBH I loose a bunch of money running my node, however I'm an idealist and to me the bennifit of keeping the only trustless decentralized pool chugging along is the reward in itself.

I think we will see a P2Pool 2.0 soon, smart contracts will replace the share chain and allow many smaller miners to rejoin and earn rewards that don't equate to unspendable dust.

I'll predict that the days of centralized pools are numbered and that one day in the not to distant future we will see the majority of hashrate on some sort of smart contract based trustless pool.

In the mean time, for me at least, P2Pool is the only responsible choice...

I'm looking forward to spending some time making my node more useful, efficient and reliable in the coming weeks. Vacation ends Tuesday, and I'll be working exclusively on my node for at least a few days:)

Aye, same here.  I run several p2pool nodes at cost, and keep them well tuned and connected.  Variance sucks, but it happens.  Blocks sometimes come in waves, and at other times there are lulls.


On another note; Veqtrus, or anyone working on this as well... Is it safe to run Segwit versions with p2pool at this time?  The PR for Segwit seems to be handling pretty well, I just want to confirm it is safe or okay to use with the pool at this time Smiley
