This is probably a total newb question but what is an orphaned share exactly?
Ive been in the pool about 3 weeks, and Ive had fun supporting this pool, but man its been dry the last couple weeks for sure. I don't understand all the variance. orphaned, dead share stuff yet. Also learning a lot each day about Bitcoin. Now mind you Ive never had a dead share, and only 2-3 orphaned in the last 3 weeks or so, so I don't think there is an issue just wanted to understand it better.
As I said Ive been having fun with Bitcoin and p2pool just wish it would pick back up a bit.
