With miners worrying about the reward halving from 50->25 BTC, this will also impact the pool operators.
Although most keep the transaction fees so will not be a halving of income but will still be a big drop if they do not increase their fee percentages.

P2pool fees (wich are exactly 0) won't change P2pool is one of the most expensive pools to mine at because of the high orphan rate. But no, I don't expect pool fees to change because of the reward halving. A more interesting problem is ASICs and the increased orphan rate they will cause until the difficulty catches up. This could be a big expense for pools that pay out orphaned blocks. For my own pool (which pays orphans for a donation), I haven't decided yet what to do in case orphans get really bad.

P2pool fees (wich are exactly 0) won't change 0.5% actually. The block discoverer gets that, don't forget. DrHaribo is also right, p2pool has one hell of a high orphan rate.

I stopped mining LTC in P2Pool the first time I tried to make an transaction with the LTC earned.
There was so many little mining transactions that to transfer 40 LTC must pay a fee of 4 LTC, client said because of size of transaction, so better a normal pool, you keep mining there, even with little hash rate, and then make a transaction for the whole earned. So your wallet won't be so "fragmented".

P2pool fees (wich are exactly 0) won't change 0.5% actually. The block discoverer gets that, don't forget. That's not a fee. A fee means the expected value of a share is (1 - f)*B/D, where f is the fee fraction, B is the bitcoin reward, and D is the mining difficulty. The expected value of a valid share on p2Pool is exactly B/D. No fee.

Am I the only one who thinks these "polls" which your "vote" has absolutely no bearing on anything are just plain silly?

The block discoverer still gets 0.5% of the block, so it's 0.5% less for the miners, so it's the same as a pool with fees of 0.5%. It doesn't matter how you calculate it, in the end it's what comes into your pocket that matters.

Like I'm gonna find a block with 818 MH/s. You'll find, on average, as many blocks as your proportion of p2Pool's hashrate represents. Say you're about 0.2% of p2Pools hashrate. You should then be earning 0.2% of the bitcoin reward, and also finding 0.2% of the blocks (on average, but the variance will be high). Since your expected earnings are 0.2% of both the fee and the reward, you're not paying a fee.

This is getting off-topic now, anyway, p2pool is a truly nice idea, I find it awesome. Sadly, the high orphan rate + the high PoW stale rate + the 0.5% fee makes it less attractive than DeepBit (!!) for lots of users, including me. Bitminter > * for now.
