wzttide, question about payments if I may - do you make payments every block? If so is there any way to hold off payments into larger amounts? As I have a pretty low hashrate, per block payments are tiny, and I'd prefer to wait for 0.1 or even 0.25 payouts.
p2pool pays out every block found, this is one thing we can't change easily.
/Edit: The transaction fee is split among the miners, therefore you shouldn't be worried about that.
