Re: [360GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
Just my fucking luck... 
My dedicated miner runs for 10 days straight without issue, and on the day that p2pool finds a billion blocks, I come back to a rig that won't give video. Restart and everything is fine and dandy again. WTF is that?!?! It's like every 10-12 days this shit happens and on the day p2pool has good luck, my share count is 1/6 what it typically is.
You're not alone, I made the decision to use my computer to spend the day playing Borderlands and therefore not mining (so only .15BTC today) My dedicated miner runs for 10 days straight without issue, and on the day that p2pool finds a billion blocks, I come back to a rig that won't give video. Restart and everything is fine and dandy again. WTF is that?!?! It's like every 10-12 days this shit happens and on the day p2pool has good luck, my share count is 1/6 what it typically is. P2Pool just happens to reduce it way less than the other pools.
That is just weak. Name me a pool where he would have been compensated for NOT mining?
He wasn't mining, it isn't like he had a 10 minute reboot window and lost 100% of the block value for 3 blocks. He still got credit on each block for the portion of time he was mining in the last 24 hours. The n used by p2pool is ~4. Most pools PPLNS pools use an n of ~1. There is no pool under a similar scenario where he would have been compensated more.
