Just a thought after mining for some time on p2pool...

it takes 30 seconds to get a share across the p2pool network, so it's roughly 20 times faster than the block finding speed ....

but is 30 seconds enough ? ......

It is getting so hard now to get a share even when we are only at 2~3 PH/s , what would it be like if we get up to 20PH/s (i.e. like 10% network share only) ...... it would take people days to even get 1 share.

Now we are back to the problem with solo mining, high variance and no payout for many of the days for the regular small miners.


Should we be developing some like a p2pool 2.0, with share speed much reduced to like 1 second or something like what other pool does, each "share" on the machine is just a share, and divide it smaller Huh
