BTW while we're on the subject, can some of you check out
http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/21imwo/consider_mining_on_2nd_p2pool_network_to_allow/ - it is for those of you with lower hashrate who were finding p2pool difficult to find shares on in time to get them counted in a block, and should drastically improve things. Please don't move over if you're a bigger hasher - it would be best to get a lot of smaller hashers on p2pool2 to get them to a workable mix of blockrate and sharerate.
