Someone please make a bitminter type client for p2pool
Really? If I make you a client you would mine p2pool?
If you're not being sarcastic....yes!
Do you think many other would? What type of hardware do you mine with? The "client" is just a guy over cgminer or bfgminer I can't remember which.
I mine with a bfl. Plan to mine with a blackarrow or something in the future.
GHash sells the bitcoins directly to investors which is a big draw to people who want to mine fiat.
I'm using Bitminter and avoiding big pools because I like to spend in Bitcoins to help start a Bitcoin economy. If people only mine for fiat no Bitcoin economy will get off the ground.
I also use P2Pools as mybackups, they need no account and I love getting virgin unspent coins, but the main problem with it is that it's frequent micro payments. You need a lot of hashing power to get it to pay out over the 0.001BTC dust level per block.
BTW:
www.p2pool.org is not the only option. Also check out
http://p2pool.hostv.pl/ for a list of others.
