Thanks for the explantion but I did know that. I was explaining that my miners were seeing accepted shares so my local pool was accepting them to demonstrate I didn't think there was a problem with the miner. I was asking if I can still get the same payout over a longer period of time, or if something was broken and I needed to fix something. I'm going multiple blocks found by p2pool before even a single share is found by me, doesn't that mean I may as well have had my miner turned off during that period? So I know the mechanics of p2pool but I'm a bit fuzzy on the statistics science involved, and if over a longer period of time can it even out even if you have little hash rate compared to everyone Can I somehow get the same payouts as I do on normal pools, if I wait long enough?
This kind of kills the appeal of smaller miners, though I don't know what is more, all the smaller miners (under 1TH) added up vs entities that command larger hashrates. If its only the bigger miners that matter in the 51% threat, then I guess its just a matter of convincing them. I fell for the rhetoric on /r/bitcoin on reddit, about saying everyone should switch to p2pool, but I didn't they were only talking to > 1TH people only.
