I was about to ask exactly the same questions as Momentmc.. Thank you for your kind answers Keith.

I myself have few questions as well.

1- So what I understand that I have to wait 15-20 days to get paid.. But while checking this node: http://212.45.19.162:9332/static/ I have found that this wallet is
https://blockchain.info/address/1EntfMRTWee7oGYfDf4vNRE62frXrmCT8a getting roughly 0.01 per day for 35 to 40TH... He/she gets paid every 5 to 7 days... This is mainnet.. If Mainnet is getting blocks every 70 days what is this payment ?

2- With my limited blockchain knowledge I thought that to solve a block you need the previous block to hash.. If we are solving blocks how do we know the previous block since giants like btc.com, antpool etc etc solve blocks every 10 minutes.. Then this means that once we start hashing a block the previous block is obsolete since these giants have already finds blocks..

3- jtoomim is it an other fork of p2pool. I have tried installing it on my mac.. had a lot of difficulty ..

Thanks...

No problem.

1- you are just looking at the blockchain explorer, pretty much just all the transaction of his wallets. Not everything that shows up there is from mining. If you send or receive any BTC, the explorer with show it ALL. But the link you provided appears to be another p2pool BTC mainnet node. That wallet ID you pointed out will only get paid when p2pool MAINNET finds a block. Predicted payout = payout at time of block finding by the pool.

2- Confused ? =D The bigger pools do smash blocks. There are work restarts, but I dont have any answer for ya. Im sure, one of the super smart guys can answer it tho im sure.

3- yes so there are two forks of p2pool BTC nets to mine on. One is the mainnet, which to me seems out dated. The other is Jtoomimnet(1mb_segwit), which seems to be smoother. I personally always tell people to join Jtoomimnet. His code seems to be superior, but thats just me from a miners standpoint and knowing what I know. Im no programmer by the way, but I know a tad bit of code to get by, barely. Jtoomim just implemented his 1mb_segwit fork to the p2pool LTC network and I will say it has improved the network dramatically.

Here are the two different nets. Not sure of the location of these nodes, but just to give an example.
