How do I know that we found a block? Someone said we found 2 this night, but I was mining for about 20 hours and I got only 1 block.
And what if I restart my computer? My "Payout if block" is again starting from zero...
Every found block contains donations to forrestv, so you can track them easily here:

Block 164153 and 164207 were mined on the the old chain (old miners)
I think block 164142 was mined before the chain split, but im not sure about this block.
The new block chain (only new miners) didnt find a block since the chain split.
The donation address of forrestv contains donations from block of both chains.
edit:
Your "Payout if block" is starting from zero, because every time you restart p2pool it get a new address from your bitcoin client.
Shares previously submited with another address will still be payed out if a block is found. They are just not shown in the p2pool log, because p2pool doens't remember which addresses were yours.
If you start p2pool with -a you always use the same address and it won't start from zero.
