Well clearly the best pool is my dogecoin pool. Come support the p2pool network.

[ANN]180Mh/s, 0% fee - Doge Street, Dogecoin mining pool (proxypool into P2Pool)

Doge Street is a proxypool that mines into the Dogecoin p2pool network (1.6Gh/s).
Main benefits are getting faster and more consistent payouts from P2Pool. We host nodes in San Francisco and New York, so latency shouldn't be an issue for most of America. Every drop of hash rate goes back into the P2Pool network.
Features: 0% fee auto-payout on 200 Doge CPPSRB payout system, vardiff Open source servers Contribute to p2pool
CPPSRB is fine, I just find DGM kinda sexy and use it on my TRC pool. I like the math behind it (non-hoppable, completely fair for all miners regardless of speed) and you just need to store 1 score per user, don't even need a share history.
I'll have to check though the math, I'm not familiar with DGM. I have a feeling that some hopping-proof methods become hoppable if you know when the proxypool server's going to be paid.
That's incorrect about small miners. You don't earn less on p2pool if you aren't finding shares often enough to cover every block, because your share's values are high enough to average it out long-term. For example, if your speed only allows you to get 1 share per week, the math works out that your share will earn you (on average) 1 week worth of coins for your hash rate. The proxy pool reduces this variance, but it doesn't pay more.
Also any plans for sha256 support? I'd also like to suggest DGM as an alternate payment method.
Many smaller miners miss the payout share completely. They need to find the hard share AND it needs it to be in the payout window. If the p2pool doesn't find a block in the payout window, then they miss out entirely. The probability of missing out entirely is quite large for smaller miners.
sha256 support should be fairly easy to patch in, although I don't plan on implementing it yet.
I went with CPPSRB since it was easy to do

The p2pool payout list is synchronised across all nodes, so you'll see addresses that doesn't belong to the pool on there. You can look at the status pages of all p2pool and the payout list is the same.

I'm running a live version on my Doge mining pool. Proxy pool feeding directly into the Dogecoin P2Pool network. Pretty positive results so far.

[ANN] Open source Stratum to Stratum Proxy pool

Proxypool is a pool server that splits the work from an upstream pool server and redistributes them to its miners, handling both shares submission and share logging for it's patrons.
The main goal is to split p2pool work load so that small miners will not experience any payout problems due to share difficulty.
Hey guys I've released the proxypool that sits between p2pool and miners, ensuring smaller miners get paid accordingly. It's currently in a beta stage and fully open source, I'd be great if you guy can help test.
Very cool. Wasn't sure what you were actually doing. So the proxy will mine p2pool using a local wallet payment address, and then do payouts itself as people get enough coin balance saved up to justify a payout?

I have created the proxy pool as discussed earlier, source will be released very soon. I just want to get a bit of testing done. We will be able to scale p2pool to hell and back.

Re: [185 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
There wasn't any risk to the pool operator, to my knowledge. The basic principle was the subpool had it's own share chain (or equiv - could manage with a properly designed database) to track the p2pmining users. Each share was also submitted to the real chain under the p2pmining address. When a payout occurred, it was divided among the users in the subpool based on their piece of the subchain. This also allowed merged mining to occur at a sub pool level, instead of basically solo, which is what p2pool is now.
The downside, of course, was it was a mini centralized pool, subject to possible pool operator abuse and hacking. Hacking is what brought it down..
He's serving diff 1 shares though. No vardiff, how does his server not get spammed to death?

Re: [185 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
It has been attempted before. I forget what it was called ... someone put up a server to do just that, complete with merged mining. It was fairly popular until it was hacked. I think you search the forums you can find it, I think the source might be available as well.

You'll have to enlighten me, I've searched long and hard before I made this post and didn't see anything. Care to drop a name?

Re: [185 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
I believe it tells you on the p2pool output. You should also be able to divide your number of shares by the number of shares in the chain and multiply that times 25 to get an approximate value. (I think...)

I was under the impression that pseudo shares are not included in the share chain, only shares with diff above the p2pool diff are included.
Another question. Let's pretend for a moment the p2pool share difficulty is at 10. A miner submits a share with difficulty 20 and the share goes into the share chain. During payout, is the value of the share capped to the share difficulty at the time of submission (10)?
I'm trying to build a proxy pool that'd would be able to payout to miners on a pseudo share basis (much less variance for miners at higher risk to pool operator). And perhaps have a vardiff system based on the pseudo shares. Has anything like this been attempted before?

Is there a way to calculate (or even approximate) the current expected payout given the amount of pseudo shares accumulated?
