On a brighter note - 7 blocks & counting......

That's great. Now if only it was usable by smaller miners. I was squeezed out. My node is empty because all of them had the same hash rate or me (1.2 TH/s) or lower, and couldn't get any shares. There are few things more frustrating than waiting 18 hours for a share only to see it roll off in 24 hours without a block.

Not to sound harsh, but mining in general is not going well for small miners. This doesn't appear to be a p2pool problem, but a general bitcoin problem. It's the nature of the beast.
