I'm getting pretty miffed from the lack of support for p2p mining. Mining for 24 hours and only 4 blocks found- netting me an average 50% less than what I should have gotten if I was pooled.

I really do not understand why p2p is not preferred to pooled mining? No sign up, no autocash out, no pool fees? Am I just crazy?

To that end, are there any pools that I can connect to over port 80? Besides mu.pool since the hashrate there is waaay too low.

Some P2pools charge pool fees just so you know. Miners like consistency and they don't want to venture away from where the hash is since they want to even out their rewards. While p2pools can do equally well assuming there is enough hash behind it and enough time is given, most just follow where the hash is parked. Thus resulting in a catch-22 with decentralization/centralization.

Some p2pools do, but on the whole it seems they do not. Whereas most, if not all, regular pools do have a service fee attached to them.
Catch 22 indeed.

I used to mine over regular pools, but signing up always became a pain-having so many accounts across so many pools became so tiring. Also there was always the chance of my coins/info being stolen from a mining pool.

One big Meh is in order.

1% fee p2pool node.
EU node: http://eu.p2pool.sk:7903
US node: http://us.p2pool.sk:7903

support p2pool decentralized mining

-o stratum+tcp://eu.p2pool.sk:7903 -u -p x -o stratum+tcp://us.p2pool.sk:7903 -u -p x

I trust you are using a node suitable for your location with a low latency
this link might help,,, I've not checked lately which are up and running
http://p2pools.org/drk

i'm in UK and have used this
"url" : "stratum+tcp://darkcoin.fr:7903

Also 24 hours is the very minimum time needed to mine to get a reasonable idea of what is going on

I've been mining over p2p for a while, I was just mentioning that in the past 24 hours only 4 blocks were found.
Also I can't connect to pools unless they are over 80-firewalled connection which I cannot alter. Also, Latency is 200ms, which seems to be within the "bad" range.

Found one recently actually Grin
