it will be always big discussion which pool has better payouts. if we are only "thinking" about it this discussion is senseless...
i have reference miners in different pools since 2 months and can say pretty clear that mining in eligius is for sure not more effective than mining in p2pool. even with lots of bad luck in p2pool last few months i have better payouts in p2pool.

numbers? I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

Sorry, i did not try to sell you anything. Wink

My reference miner mined ca 3% more in p2pool (not even in my own node). to give here proofs is to much extra work for me. i had in every pool 2 BFL 60 GH Singles mining and payouts were following between 15.january and 15 march:
Ghash.io - 1.012 BTC
Eligius - 0.997 BTC
P2pool - 1.027 BTC
btcguild - 0.962 BTC
of course this difference is not huge but in the end it makes some $. only advantage of big pools was that i did not have to check and restart my miners every week. in p2pool i had to check all the time how my miners were working, restart them or even change the node (there are not many stabile nodes out there - sad but truth).

I've said this before... but I'm trying it again.

I have 200gh/s pointed at a public p2pool node with a fresh unused address.
I have another 200gh/s pointed at eligius with a fresh unused address.

Difficulty just changed.

Let's see how things look in 2 weeks.

thats good idea to do it, even if 2 weeks timeframe is too short for real comparison. you need in p2pool 3 days until your miner reach full payout height, in eligius it goes much faster.
and please just change the miners in one week (elegies to p2pool and other way) to get real numbers. hash rate of miners can seem to be same, but every miner is different, so changing them guarantees that both pools have equal chances.
