The fault lay with the hardware manufacturers, not p2pool, as p2pool was around long before they started making their ASICs. If all the newer hardware follows the same pattern, things will only improve, and old hardware becomes irrelevant very fast in this world anyway.
Agreed, but pool software should be able to adapt to newer hardware - which p2pool does not do. Other pools adapt - that's why they are more successful/bigger.
Exactly. I can point my Blades to any other pool, be it one with a getwork interface, or any stratum pool via a stratum proxy, and guess what? It works. ONLY p2pool shit's it's lips when presented an ASICMiner (or KnC it seems).
As usual, ck, you're skirting round an issue and making excuses, rather than fixing the issue - amazing as it isn't even YOUR issue this time...
