And again, you pick up on the least important part of my post. I've bolded the important parts for the hard of thinking. Roll Eyes

Lulz. Funny how I seemed to list a number of things in my reply that you ignored

This thread is about p2pool.
But as I said in my reply to you that you completely ignored most of,
you're arguing in here about p2pool fail - yet you don't even understand the design of p2pool or why it works that way.

The hardware issue is simply hardware designed badly - problems that can easily be avoided.

These companies have ignored input about what should be done and gone ahead and made blunders.
To help with this, forrestv has changed p2ool to help deal with some of these more blatant hardware design flaws.

Seriously, the KFC miner effectively stops mining for 10s every LP.
Who but an idiot or BTC ignorant hardware designer would do something like that.
You can't get around that with p2pool, but you can avoid making your miner go idle in the hardware design ... as anyone, not ignorant of how BTC in general works, would do.

The basic design of p2pool is a sub chain of BTC.
That design is actually what will be required in the future for BTC to continue or it will die.
It won't be p2pool, but the concept is indeed what BTC will require to grow beyond it's rather blatant, current limitations.
... and it's nothing new about how to design the correct hardware, the problem is we have BTC noobs, who think they are know it alls, who then go and design hardware with totally fail mistakes, that are unnecessary and obvious to avoid.
