I'm a little puzzled by this.
I mined for about 24 hours on a true p2pool.
About 10:00 this morning, I switched to another coin.
At first since there were coins in my wallet that needed confirm I didn't pay a lot of attention.
Then I noticed the wallet is still receiving coins and its now after 4:00pm.

I checked the pool and my wallet address shows no hash.
I'm running 4 Zeus Blizzards and was hitting over 5Mhs, almost a quarter of the pools rate.
Is this some sort of residual reward coming in or is my miner rig still hooked up and I can't se it ?
btw the amount of coins is still good coming in, like I never left.
Weird.

It's the way p2pool works.  You get paid for any shares you have on the chain when a block is found.  So, you'll continue to get payouts until such time that your last share falls off the chain.

Thank you jonnyb.
Learn something everyday, but this is still going on.
why do some p2pools have stratum in address, are they not true p2pools?
(this particular pool does not)

p2pool supports the stratum protocol, so when you connect, you can either use stratum+tcp:// or http://.  As for why you're still getting coin, it's completely dependent upon how long shares remain valid on the chain.  For example, in Bitcoin, each block pays out the previous 8640 shares - which is 3 days worth of shares.
