2) The p2pool does adjust share difficulty, but on a global basis.  So with just my miners attached, everyone who connected will see about 1k share difficulty, which is again problematic for small miners.

I suppose you mean the difficulty for each worker, since it reads like node-basis (i.e with your miners...).
Actually everyone can adjust this by append the number they want to the username (address or not),
for example, 13qnEgPTxJW6mm88dLpnHXZyryN5EXBciq+16
But I think it just make the graphs looks nicer for small miners  Wink


Ah, didn't know that.  But that auto adjust to something to keep the graphs pretty would be very nice.

Hi fireduck, back when you posted I hadn't even looked at p2pool before but I've been into it a lot lately. I made a patch that addresses your point #2 above.

It's actually live on the whole VTC p2pool network and works well. I didn't do a similar change for the pseudo share difficulty (the one for graphing/etc) because I was concerned about the increase in bandwidth if a large public node suddenly went from globally 1 share per second to having 1 share per second per miner. Of course, normal pools tend to vardiff people to submit shares every few seconds anyway, so maybe I should do that. It's easily enough to change.
