Can somebody see what I could possibly be doing wrong with my pool?

http://64.132.73.186:9332/static/

My hasrate is about 450GH/s

My a week ago I rebooted my pool and added a local 350Gh/s BF rig.
For the first 24/hr I got 3 dead shares.
So I rebooted the PC and it started working fine.
As you can see from the payout of the pool I was getting .009xxx a block.
Then the payout switched to just under .004xxx with no noticeable pool hashrate increase.
Now I noticed: "Payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC" and my last 2 blocks were dead also.

My config is running on a Windows 2008 R2 server that is on a private fiber line.
I setup pool based on the http://p2pool.in/ information.

What could I be missing?

Thanks

Hello looks fine to me.
If I am not mistaken, its giving you a payout for the next 24 hours and nothing now because you have not earned enough in your shares yet.....
You need to have a full 3 days to get to your full potential, this is how the p2pool works... you earn for your shares and since you just started you are at a point of nothing, but if you leave it you will see it it go up...
Others on here can explain it better to you but I do think thats the reason.....
hope that helps... Just watch it and you will see...
Also, if you stop your node, and we pop a few more blocks you will continue to get paid for the shares you earned...

OK so the "3 days" logic comes from this:

[source: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payout logic

Each share contains a generation transaction that pays to the previous n shares, where n is the number of shares whose total work is equal to 3 times the average work required to solve a block, or 8640 (= 24 hours of shares), whichever is smaller. Payouts are weighted based on the amount of work each share took to solve, which is proportional to the p2pool difficulty at that time.

The block reward (currently 25BTC) and the transaction fees are combined and apportioned according to these rules:

A subsidy of 0.5% is sent to the node that solved the block in order to discourage not sharing solutions that qualify as a block. (A miner with the aim to harm others could withhold the block, thereby preventing anybody from getting paid. He can NOT redirect the payout to himself.) The remaining 99.5% is distributed evenly to miners based on work done recently.

In the event that a share qualifies as a block, this generation transaction is exposed to the Bitcoin network and takes effect, transferring each node its payout.

First of all, should 8640 shares = 3 days of shares instead??? is there something wrong with the Wiki???

With this amendment, I would translate the logic as follows in common language:

Whenever a block is found on p2pool, payout will be proportionally distributed to:
- shares generated during the past n hours, where n hours is the expected time to generate 3 blocks (i.e. if expected time to generate 1 block is 12 hours, n = 36 hours = 1.5 days)
- however the maximum value for n is 3 days, meaning if a share is over 3 days old, it's basically too old to generate any income

Is my understanding correct???
