Hey guys, i have a technical question concerning p2pool.

While shares can quite easily be DOA because of the ~60times faster sharechain, found bitcoin blocks shouldn´t become dead/orphaned that quickly, as they are then broadcast on to the Bitcoin network.

So what happens, when my found share would be a Bitcoin block but the p2pool node considers it a "late" share? Is it still passed on to the Bitcoin network?

Yes, but it won't show up in the p2pool block list, either.... and you won't get the .5% bonus for it, just the "normal" amount earned.

... also why no-submit-stale is bad to use with p2pool.

You're correct about the no-submit-stale settings. With p2pool you want to submit everything. You're incorrect about not getting the 0.5%, though. There's nothing in the generate_transaction code reliant upon whether or not the share is either stale or DOA. It always divides up the rewards into 199/200 for miners on the share chain and 1/200 for the miner that found the block.

Hope that helps.

cgminer default used to be no submit now its yes submit right?

i still remember setting "submit-stale" : true,
