I am not the tinfoil hat type.
I would be fine with the variance but its getting worse. We are now at over 5 days with no block found with difficulty jumping another 20% in 2 days.
Look back at my post history, I was arguing from your POV when he first brought it up, but now its not worth the benefits when this p2pool node is not growing in relation to the network. Plus, when we do find a block we will have to wait for 120 blocks before pyraminings back end doles out earnings. Its time for eligius.

I'll say it again, move the new hardware to eligius asap. The sooner the better.

Why are you so against moving to eligius? Its 0% fee, steadier payouts because its 1/8th of the network and they merge nmc. Why is eligius so terrifying to you?

The question that comes to my mind is, why are you pushing for that pool so much?

You're sounding like you're working yourself up for little reason.

Over the long haul, it balances out.

If you were recommending that Pyramining diversify, devoting the hashpower between P2Pool, Eligius, and 1 other pool, then ok, that's reasonable, and I would be in support of your position. Diversification is a good thing to do... but devoting everything onto a single centralized pool? Screw that.

Variance is just something that comes with the territory, and if you weren't willing to invest in a long-term investment, why did you invest in Pyramining in the first place?
