I opened up the webpage for the p2pool jtoomim node that I am connected to, and it says there was a block found an hour ago, but there is nothing in my wallet. I checked another node, and the addresses listed did not receive anything either. It used to be instant, or do the coins need to mature now? It is a cold storage wallet, not an exchange. That's about $400 I should have received ~ .070 BTC

My wallet: https://blockchain.info/address/1AdPjxC3u2K32pyRFYaLAUp59qXXGP4fpd
Block: https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000000817d56511e1e3f2269250ee49f9fa651fc2c625c360138
Node I'm connected to:https://btc.coinpool.pw/#
Another node that has addresses that show no transactions:http://low-doa.mine.nu:9334/static/
The node you were looking at, and are currently mining at, is running a custom frontend for what seems to be a custom version of jtoomimnet. I assume that it has a bug that caused it to falsely report Antpool's block as being P2Pool's. jtoomimnet's last block was found on September 18, 2017, more than 28 days ago.

There is also currently a bug in the standard P2Pool web frontend that is causing it to not announce new blocks found by P2Pool.

Anyway, the important thing here is not whether a node is correctly announcing blocks found by P2Pool, but whether you are actually mining at P2Pool in the first place. The best guarantee of this is, of course, to mine at your own P2Pool node. But if that is not possible for you, or if you prefer to mine at a third party's node, what you can do to ensure that you are indeed mining at P2Pool is to visit different nodes' web frontends (for the fork that you are on), scroll to the list of P2Pool miners at the bottom, and check to see that you are indeed in the list of P2Pool miners. If you are in the list, then newfound and accepted blocks (from the P2Pool fork that you are on) will always result in your payout being immediately generated to your bitcoin wallet, whether or not the block was correctly announced as P2Pool's block on any P2Pool node's web frontend, Blockchain's explorer, or Blocktrail's explorer.

TL;DR: Check to see if you are indeed mining at your preferred fork of P2Pool. If you are, and if your P2Pool fork finds a block, you will immediately receive your payout in your bitcoin wallet.

Any verifiable nodes? Where to go?
I suggest jtoomim's own jtoomimnet nodes. Their web frontends may be found here and here.

You may also use this P2Pool node scanner to find active P2Pool nodes on both forks.

Nobody seems to care that it is impossible to find this fork if you weren't already following this thread. The info on the main page is outdated. The links are for pages that don't have current info. How is the hashrate gonna increase if it's not readily accessible to anyone? I'm gonna make my own node again, but not everyone can do it
P2Pool is ultimately forrestv's pool, and jtoomimnet is jtoomim's fork of forrestv's pool. forrestv is therefore under no obligation to promote or even acknowledge jtoomimnet, whether in his original post on this thread, on the main P2Pool GitHub, or on the official P2Pool webpage. The onus is on jtoomim to create his own thread for jtoomimnet if he wishes to make jtoomimnet more publicly known.
