Re: [460 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
I suspect that default 1% donation to one developer may actually discourage code contributions and encourage forking. That is, forrestv gets all the credit if somebody submits a patch. I don't think that is intentional though.
It is absolutely intentional, forestv has even gone out of his way to make it hard to change his donation address easily within the code:
https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/blob/39767a2c7da3b22efc8d90623dcda12b6ab4f419/p2pool/data.py#L52
Hard to change?
You just pointed to the single line needed to change to change the donation address.
