There are a lot of questions, and very few answers....
Does this run on the existing p2pool sharechain?
Yes.
Will anyone be able to run a node?
Did you address payouts for smaller miners as the hasrate increases?
What changes to p2pool are you making?
After we open sourced the code, anyone will be build a node using our code or compiled software.
Did you address payouts for smaller miners as the hasrate increases?
There are two factors to address for the payout stability of smaller miners. 1st, the total hashrate of p2pool protocol is small and the payout of the whole network is not stable right now. We need to increase the p2pool protocol's total network hashrate. 2nd, small miners' hashrate is low. We think we can help this by set up a good protocol mining agent.
What changes to p2pool are you making?
1) Optimize the unstable problem when concurrent user number is high; If p2pool cannot support enterprise level mining operation, it will not be a robust protocol.
2) Reduce loss of frequent restart;
3) Diff dynamic adjust algorithm change;
