Well the point of p2pool is that everyone should run their own p2pool and not connect to someone else running it, right?

p2Pool is not viable for smaller miners, so a p2Pool proxy is a good alternative.

Ah okay. I've not used it myself. How much hash power should someone have for it to be viable to run yourself?

Most p2Poolers say a share per day should be the minimum. I'm not sure what that means currently, but from the chart below you can see that the bulk of the p2Pool miners are above 100 Ghps.

2) The p2pool does adjust share difficulty, but on a global basis.  So with just my miners attached, everyone who connected will see about 1k share difficulty, which is again problematic for small miners.

I suppose you mean the difficulty for each worker, since it reads like node-basis (i.e with your miners...).
Actually everyone can adjust this by append the number they want to the username (address or not),
for example, 13qnEgPTxJW6mm88dLpnHXZyryN5EXBciq+16
But I think it just make the graphs looks nicer for small miners 

Ah, didn't know that.  But that auto adjust to something to keep the graphs pretty would be very nice.

This can be done easily, but such a "big pool" feature might not be suitable for p2ool,
I guess it is why forrestv does not implement or hear the request.

You could try --miner-share-rate or --address-share-rate in auto-worker-diff branch of my git fork:

Not mined here but seeing a pool close is sad. (i'm an altcoin pool op myself)

Maybe this would help you to open a mini pool piggybacking off the p2pool net?

Hi fireduck, back when you posted I hadn't even looked at p2pool before but I've been into it a lot lately. I made a patch that addresses your point #2 above.

https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/174

It's actually live on the whole VTC p2pool network and works well. I didn't do a similar change for the pseudo share difficulty (the one for graphing/etc) because I was concerned about the increase in bandwidth if a large public node suddenly went from globally 1 share per second to having 1 share per second per miner. Of course, normal pools tend to vardiff people to submit shares every few seconds anyway, so maybe I should do that. It's easily enough to change.

presently I shall ponder this under the tree of woe.


needs to be some nostalgia forum on here... and not archive.
