Re: [185 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
EDIT: I guess my point is p2pool isn't for everyone. True supporters of the p2pool concept acknowledge that. The rest treat p2pool as a religion, as from their perspective, anyone who has a problem must not have their settings right or not understand the system.
On a related subject variance importance is often blown out of proportions and people willingly choose pools that pay between 3 and 5% less monthly because p2pool pays less nearly one day out of two. This behavior is not limited to pool choice: many forfeit long term gains for short term gains in most domains.
I agree, a mining friend of mine told me I should give P2Pool a chance for 30 days or so to see the overall gain over using a fee based pool. So far I have to say at I am happy to be at least hashing, the fee based pool I have been using lately hasn't had any blocks to be hashed so my miners have been spinning their wheels.
