Currently in a nasty drought on LTC p2pool. Of course the last block we hit ended up be an orphan, or invalid? Not sure which, but I know no payout =] https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ltc/block.dws?1336553.htm How do you figure out what went wrong?

Also, when will there be talk again of finally merging the two BTC p2pool nets? I think one needs to end, and finally put the two nets together. Now I am no programmer, but I feel I have a decent understanding over mechanics of p2pool. It is quite confusing to any new miners on what p2pool is already, so hearing about two different network adds to the confusion and seems to be a turn off. After seeing a BTC block today that was almost 25 BTC with fees and a LTC block at 36 LTC, I think p2pool really has a chance at attracting more miners if they see the lost revenue. I say combine the nets, and lets get p2pool going again. I'm going to continue pushing decentralized mining on p2pool networks as much as I can. May the blocks be with you....
