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

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. Sad

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.
It is more acutely felt by small p2pool miners because of the nature of how p2pool works.  As more hash rate gets added to p2pool, the difficulty of finding a share goes up.  Those with small hash rates are affected because they might go for days without finding a share - and no share means no payout.  It's precisely the opposite problem found in other pools where the greater the hash rate, the less the variance for the individual miner.
