Hello,

I've been mining on P2Pool for about 4 days now.  Running my own node with about 120 GH/s.  The recent 52 hour stretch of bad luck was a bit tough, but I think I'll stick with it a while.

I had a few questions for those that have been at this a while.

1.  I wanted to know if there is a way to browse the p2pool blockchain similar to way you can browse the bitcoin blockchain with blockchain.info or similar.  Basically I'd like to monitor the shares that are being posted in the p2pool chain.  I see some chain dat files in the p2pool data directory, perhaps there is a tool of some sort?

2.  I  was wondering if there is a way to tell the max difficulty a share satisfied.  Not the required difficulty to make the block but the max difficulty the hash would have satisfied.  For example, I see in p2pool I made a share and the difficulty was lets say 850K, in bfgminer I see my "best share (BS)" is 955M.  Which if I understand correctly means I could have mined a bitcoin block not to long ago.  I was wondering if you could determine the "best difficulty" for each share?

Thanks,
