Re: [3500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
If you are mining on P2Pool.org you are paying a 100% fee!
I was afraid this might happen...
After 2 weeks of being pointed to http://minefast.coincadence.com with instructions to switch nodes, and an additional week of being completely offline I restarted the p2pool node at p2pool.org at a 100% fee, there is still over 800GH/s mining there.
On Thursday when we launch the new site it will become apparent why we are running p2pool.org at a 100% fee.
Anyway, if those are your miners and you do not want to contribute 100% of your mining power to p2pool.org, you may want to move them to another node

Hi windpath,
If your goal is to shut down the p2pool node on p2pool.org, I think the most direct way to accomplish that would be to turn off the p2pool software. Taking 100% of the mining proceeds could be interpreted in a negative way, especially by the miners connected to the node. Sure, you could say that they should have paid closer attention to their equipment but they may not see it that way! Maybe there is a technical reason that you can't turn off the p2pool node and the 100% tax is the only way to get people off of the node?
I'm not trying to criticize you personally, I just think that this could be handled in a way that doesn't potentially lead to angry miners, lawsuits, bad publicity for p2pool, etc.
Thanks for all of your efforts to make p2pool easier to use and enhance its popularity. I know that you've worked hard to grow p2pool, and I appreciate your efforts.
