p2pool benefits :
    Decentralized bitcoin mining
    Payouts do not depend on pool operator and no delayed payout.
    Zero pool fees because it's less work/risk for pool managers.
    Payouts in virgin unspent coins with no transaction history.
    No user account required, just connect with your payout address.

Potentially lower orphans due to increased connectivity.
