Does the amount of network traffic used by p2pool bother anyone? I have some ideas for how to reduce the amount of traffic (without improving propagation performance), but the traffic doesn't bother me, so I haven't made implementing it a priority.

The other project I have in mind is trying to improve fairness independent of performance by using some sort of share DAG (e.g. with uncles) or one of the other ideas mentioned in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg19248232#msg19248232. That's going to require far more work than the network traffic reduction, though.

Alternately, I could work on polishing the current code a bit, merging into the main p2pool repo, and organizing the community to upgrade. If I do that before the fairness work, that means that we have to do another big upgrade later.

Thoughts?
