I was for the support of p2pool, but with p2pool.info not keeping up with network its time to rethink. I know p2pool is high variance, but this is on the edge of absurd. If I am not mistaken we will get paid our share of the next block, but not for the work submitted over the past 5+ days. That is 5 days of wasted electricity and hashing power.

Perhaps you should have invested your funds in some mining gear and pointed it at a PPS pool instead?

Honestly, where I invest is none of your business.
No, I am not getting worked up, but I am getting a little irritated seeing the clock keep ticking upwards with no block in site.
I chose eligius as the pool because its the smallest big pool and the best one at the moment. Its not very large so by using them we support a diversified ecosystem. Its also the simplest pool to join, your btc Addy is your username, that simple.

I ask you why your so insistent on staying with p2pool?
You are not acknowledging the fact with the diff change in 2 days our chances of finding a block go down even further.
Your also not recognizing the wasted resources for the past 5+ days.

Why didn't you suggest a multi pool strategy? Even though IMO it would be a waste of hashing power, unless we can find a several petahash p2pool to join.

One last thing, do you not want the extra income nmc would bring?
