Running on any node is better then supporting centralization like antpool. Some people dont have the technical expertise to get these setup

It would also help if the instructions to set-up a node were more detailed, less fragmented, and actually included the steps and actual dependencies needed for each distro. Each time I set-up a node in the past, it's was a pain because I didn't write down everything that was needed, and I just had to keep installing new dependencies after each error. I did post the dependencies for new Ubuntu install a while back, but I think it was just ignored.

I'm giving up on P2Pool. It was a great idea, and my node did donate, but I think most did not, and that is probably why the developer doesn't seem to give a shit. Props to Jtoomim for trying to fix its shortcomings, but I was never included as part of a valid block - a couple of orphans I guess and an invalid block, but no payout. It could be successful with a little effort on the front-end, but it looks like that isn't desired. It would be nice to keep Bitcoin decentralized, but it seems like that is no longer a priority either.

Sory for the rant, it's just how I feel.
