Unfortunately, my payout was more than 250 times less than expected. Mining directly on p2pool, I was getting about .005–.008 BTC per block. Here, the total payout for those five blocks was .00012807. Maybe I'm missing something?

If this is you, you only got credit for part of the last block.

You can see the timestamps on the blocks here: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1B1kSM3KfcP9BvGDC1G3cxZAV9LbxovpQi

If you were indeed mining during all 5, I may have a timezone issue.  Let me know and I'll check.  If there is an issue, I will credit you what you are due.

Okay, it turns out I was mining with two different addresses. .00012807 was received via 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ—I was mining with this address for a very short period at the very beginning (no more than a few hours). Then I switched to 1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ and used that one for the remainder of the entire period.

So I got the payment via 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ, but not for 1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ.

Hmm, I'm actually 1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ—I received exactly .00012807 BTC on this address.
And indeed, I was mining during the entire last several days, as far as I know.

Edit: I just checked, and it turns out I very briefly mined using 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ at the beginning. This was for a very short period (no more than a few hours or so), then I switched to the address I mentioned above for the remainder of the time.

The first share I see from you is timestamped Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:24:04 GMT (to the 1Q address, the first share from 1yrraL was Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:23:08 GMT)
The 5th block was found 2013-06-18 00:55:45 and the others were found on the 17th, according to https://blockchain.info/address/1B1kSM3KfcP9BvGDC1G3cxZAV9LbxovpQi

As for shares since then, here is why I am expecting if a block were paid out now:
Total Payout: 0.155
Address                                                        shares       payout
178sstRXJ2aF4KHcrkbECzFopjDgHCigyr         202136      0.15096917
1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ    0.999985    0.00000075
13WSYzi1h9S14oN7E8DGbGLk7vHoXC2x3W  174.207     0.00013011
1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ          5221.76    0.00389997

Is that more in line with your expectations?  Do you disagree with either the timing of your mining or the blocks (I don't see anywhere where it specifies it is using UTC, but it appears so).

[TravisE]

I'm going to say the timestamps sound about right. So it looks like I started mining only just before that last block was hit—for the four previous blocks I was on p2pool and already got paid for those. I didn't realize that.

So based on that, the payout listed for 1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ sounds like it's probably reasonable.

Good.  At least you didn't completely miss out on that luck streak.  The time to find a block is up to 39 hours, but we should get at least one block before payout time on Monday.  Thank your for helping me test and giving me reason to triple check my calculations.

[TravisE]

You're welcome. One last thing—I haven't received anything on the 1yrraL address yet (the blockchain only shows a single .01 BTC transaction that I sent to myself for testing purposes), just the .12807 mBTC on 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ. Was this supposed to have been sent out already, or is it scheduled for the next payout cycle?

Next cycle.... unfortunately p2pool hasn't found a block yet .  Terrible luck.  You can verify here: http://p2pool.info/

I will send out the Monday payout soon after the latest block matures.  It is not yet spendable.  Details below.

I had to drop the payout to 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ since it is below the dust limit (If I include it most nodes won't forward my transaction and most miners won't include it).  If you send enough hashpower my way to earn more than the dust limit I will include the 0.00000042 BTC owed in your next payout.

[TravisE]

That's okay since I don't plan to use 1Q68UdKBYgBVy7h4gAAXcipaoBPeoJZrXQ anymore and haven't for more than a week (that amount due is probably just from PPLNS carryover or whatever). I'll just use 1yrraLgmRZ1fbgtz2BSVXcWVrJnH785QZ from now on.

Sure, I'll make a note to add what I owe you in with the next payout to 1yrraL... I should have thought to just roll it in this time but I forgot you mentioned controlling both of those addresses.

Sorry, no payout today.  P2Pool only found one block since the last payout, and it still needs another 33 confirms before it is spendable.  There will definitely be a payout Monday.  Thank you for your patience.  Hopefully p2pool will gain a larger share of mining with the new changes coming (longer share times which makes p2pool work better with some ASICs) and we can get back to solving more blocks.
