The only minor thing is that the payment to the last N shares is weighted according to the difficulty of getting a p2pool share at that time.
Can you explain this a bit? Who measures the difficulty of getting a p2pool share???

The difficulty of getting a p2pool share is automatically adjusted to keep one share being produced every ten seconds for all people using p2pool, in exactly the same way that the bitcoin difficulty is adjusted to keep blocks being generated at one every ten minutes.

hey forest can you convert the pobc to a windows exe i wanna see if it lowers the stales any for me.

Doing this now.
