BTW, Stratum support is finished and will be released later today.
Great. I just released a new version of cgminer, 2.10.4, as a hotfix to ensure it works with p2pool stratum. FWIW, the cgminer problem here was fixed in BFGMiner 2.9.2 (Nov 5, 2012), so there should be no need for a new version to use p2pool + stratum. IW zero

That means you aren't forwarding the p2pool port from your firewall. Probably okay. M

Complete blocks are never sent over the P2Pool network; the most you should ever have to burst upload when you get a share is ~2kB to every peer. If decreasing the block size helps your stale rate, it's more likely a latency issue within the P2Pool codebase that can be fixed, instead of a result of your internet connection. zvs, what kind of hardware were you running P2Pool on when you got this? Local rate: 7.74GH/s (7.2% DOA) Expected time to share: 0.0917 hours Shares: 31 total (28 orphaned, 3 dead) Efficiency: 0.000% Payout if a block were found NOW: 0.49253475 BTC to 1Zevusze7BjTpp4srJhx4zkRBxpbgwU4A. Expected after mining for 24 hours: 0.664 BTC Current block value: 26.55448192 BTC Expected time to block: 11.5 hours
that's fancy i'm guessing it's because the size of my blocks are too large? it looks like it's running 900KB atm. ok, back to 0, heh...
Having every single share orphaned is a sign of bitcoind being broken or some other misconfiguration, not any fixable latency. Did reducing maxblocksize to 0 help? BTW, Stratum support is finished and will be released later today. Yeah, but to do so I had to restart bitcoind. So it could very well have been something wrong with the bitcoind->p2pool connection.... couldn't see how it could be bitcoind itself, since it was still reporting everything as normal... The blocksize was at around 900KB, I thought maybe that might be the issue... although I doubt it was so high for 2 hours

After two hours on p2pool/cgminer/Stratum, I got a block http://blockchain.info/block-index/329787 and Best Share reads 9.69M Current difficulty is 2.98M. Shouldn't I get credit for at least three blocks on that? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I lost 1/3 of my shares overnight, not sure if it's because of the bug, or if stratum. I'll try again once my payout gets back up to par. I also keep lowering the maximum incoming connections. I noticed I start getting stales left and right when the connections increase. I dropped it to 10, then to 5, and now to 3. Seems to be working well to keep the stales and deads at bay. M

EDIT: You can disable cgminer's auto-switching to Stratum if you think Stratum is worse by using --fix-protocol on cgminer Or --disable-stratum in BFGMiner. But note that in general, stratum is better than getwork and makes good sense for local stuff like p2pool.

But note that in general, stratum is better than getwork and makes good sense for local stuff like p2pool. Makes sense, but reality doesn't always match theory. As I said above, I have it disabled for now until my payout gets back up to par. Whether it was stratum or a p2pool bug that caused it, I don't know. I can tell you my local rejects from cgminer increased with stratum. M
