Looks like the new Tube miners can be added to the "not compatible" list of miners....... Angry

Basic question but do we know why some hardware isn't working well with p2pool?

I assume the hardware is driven by the same mining software like cgminer? Which is using the same protocols to talk to p2pool (stratum?) as GHash.

So is it something to do with polling frequency / latency that is p2pools fault or what?

From what I've observed with my S2, it's not capable of restarting work every 30 seconds like p2pool requires.

I'll second that thought.  It's the 30-second work restart that is the problem.  Along with trying to figure out a way to better deal with the larger per-share diff for small miners, this has been one of the largest issues needing to be fixed.  However, I'm not sure where the solution lies if it's on the p2pool side, or more on the manufacturers/hardware.  Someone who's been around longer might have a more accurate explanation.
