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.
