okay thank you.. is there a possibility to combine the two branches again? it seems to be very uselesss to split this very small pool in two even smaller, separate networks..

In 3 months jtoomimnet will fork off to segwit2x anyway so it seems to be pointless.

In case the split of jtoomim's network happens, would it not be possible to merge the two versions that follow segwit, so that the reasons that some miners have to follow jtoomim even though they only support segwit is partially alleviated?

Merging would require creating a third network which contains a snapshot of the balances of the other two networks. It's easier to just abandon one of the networks.

I think one of the main reasons people choose to use jtoomimnet is the excessively increased new txn size/share limit which allows producing larger blocks at the expense of DoS vulnerability. Since a lot of "P2Pool miners" are just mining on centralized P2Pool instances this isn't a concern to them; they can switch to any other centralized pool at any time. Also since proof-of-hope blockchains are the domain of BU/2x/altcoin developers this represents a major disagreement.
