This fact that is not possibile to tell exactly what was found and when is a big problem, IMHO, which could stop miners from switching to p2pool.

The first post has had a link to a full, guaranteed list of P2Pool-found blocks for a long time:


forrestv,

I'm sorry my sentence keeps coming up, I was answering a previous message from piuk with a link to blockchain.info which had a wrong block listed and just the day before p2pool log file was found by me to contain out-of-date (and as such "misleading" as in "misleading to a user" of p2pool) informations (they clearly are not misleading to their author or to someone who digs into the source code and understands its inner workings).

I also did not check that blockexplorer link because I thought that grepping p2pool log file was the surest way to know what was going on and in case of troubles (blocks being lost and share numbers swinging a lot were yesterday "problems" I was trying to go after) looking up an address to see if it got its payment is not a good idea IMHO since on a lost block every address should not receive any payment.

So I was trying to express the idea that there is not a "place" which lists blocks found and found but rejected by the network as it happens with other pools which often have such a "place".

Maybe my sentence sounds to english speaking peoples in way that is too harsh or just stronger than it was meant to be, my apologies if this is the case.
