Since it wasn't mentioned in the original post, I'd like to post the numbers for p2pool, and to quite effectively put fire000's ravings out to pasture - especially his claims that p2pool's payment system is flawed/broken/whatever.  Months ago he brought those same claims to the p2pool thread.  I'd like to post actual numbers here. 

From 8/9 until today I have had 8 Antminer S3s mining on p2pool.  I mine on my own node.  I've actually been mining on p2pool since April; however, during that time I have had multiple different hash rates from numerous different miners (S1s, S2, SP10, S3s) and have tried out numerous different pools like Eligius, BTCGuild, GHash.io, etc.  The only reason I chose to start this report on 8/9 was because from that day until today I've had only the 8 S3s running, and they have only been mining on p2pool.

I used http://www.retrocalc.net to calculate what the expected earnings of 3.52TH/s are from 8/9 until 11/24.  The expected mined amount during that timeframe is 6.2788BTC for that hashing rate.  From p2pool, I have mined 7.26466827BTC.

P2Pool has paid me 0.98586827BTC above expectations, in other words, 115.70% of expected payout.

Is there anyone that has been mining on BAN with this same hash rate for this timeframe who can post their numbers?  I'd like to see an actual, fair and honest comparison.  There used to be a great thread comparing Eligius, BTCGuild and p2pool here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416933.0.  Unfortunately, that thread hasn't been updated in quite some time.

Thanks.

PS - I also merge mine NMC, DVC, IXC, I0C and FSC on my node.  All proceeds from those coins I have earned have been donated back to the p2pool community by me, and are not included in my earnings above.  The above numbers are strictly mined BTC on p2pool.
