in case people are curious i did some cpu and gpu testing with nvidia and ati etc
i found that mining Vertcoin was close to 3x more profitable than mining Darkcoin.
So if you wanted darkcoins then mine VTC and buy them Wink

also i think VTC is more honest.. Dark coin is a rip off of Quark and they won't give any credit to Quark at all and play dumb about it.
they also have all kinds of trickery involved from day one like parading it around as a cpu only coin and not posting gpu miner links on the ANN page description.
Even though there was gpu miners around since day 1 ! so they have exploited the rep of being a cpu only coin to get people involved.. scammy !
Screw Darkcoin and their scammy bullshit.. their title boasts claims they can't back up too.. it's also listed on the CPU only coin listing topic.

Dude, Darkcoin is a rip off of Quark? Let me tell you, Quark is a ripp off of Bitcoin! Welcome to the crypto scene lol

p2pool works another way than traditional pools, one basic fact must be taken into account to determine on which p2pool network to mine, larger (higher global hashrate) p2pool network results in higher (share) difficulty for miners thus it's harder to get work accepted and being paid. For this reason, it's better to split p2pool into more smaller networks. There are currently three:
1st - https://p2pool.vertcoin.org or http://lovok.no-ip.com:81 (for miners with more than 3MHs)
2nd - http://p2pscanner.no-ip.org or http://lovok.no-ip.com:82 (for miners with 1,5MHs - 3MHs)
3rd - http://lovok.no-ip.com (for miners with less than 1,5MHs)

I make alias name.
1st network - http://lovok.no-ip.com:81 - above 3 MH/s https://p2pool.vertcoin.org
2nd network - http://lovok.no-ip.com:82 - 1,5 - 3 MH/s https://p2pool-2.vertcoin.org
3rd network - http://lovok.no-ip.com - below 1,5 MH/s https://p2pool-3.vertcoin.org

Just a heads up, this one is on the 1st network. http://q30.qhor.net:9171/static/

Dont you think 3 networks are too confusing?

Dont you think that relying on your 1st network node for all miners and telling them that changing pseudo-share difficulty will solve all their problems is very misleading?

To be honest its sad to see how the Vertcoin P2Pool network is getting destroyed by splitting it up in multiple sub pools.

There really should just be one. If miners find the variance too high they can use a different pool, or maybe someone sets up a proxypool for vertcoin. I ported the proxypool project (from doge.st) to vertcoin but haven't had time to try setting up a payment back end/etc. I believe on saw on chat someone had done so but if they haven't publicly announced it here, I'll leave it to them to do so.

Edit: bengt said open the flood gates, http://p2proxy.net/ . If you want to mine on a pool that shares hash rate with the p2pool network but not run p2pool itself because of variance, then give that a try!

If there are more classic pools, why there should not be more than one p2pool network? Why the hell use some 3rd party proxy if I can directly mine on 2nd or 3rd network without problems (with hashrate that results many hours to share on 1st network). Proxy is more like classic pool than p2p.

Do you really think this thing will work out like planed on the scrapbook? 1st network above 3 MH/s, 2nd network 1,5 - 3 MH/s, 3rd network below 1,5 MH/s?
This is totally misleading. What if the 3rd network for the small miners is growing bigger than the 1st for the big miners? Guess what, the small miners would get better payouts going to the 1st network. Not the worker hashrate is important but the network rate.

You are trying to approach an issue which is known for so long in p2pool with such a devasting solution. I'm really disappointed, VTC p2pool used to be the best among the cryptos.
