Is there any drawback of P2Pool over Normal Pool mining with 0% fee, e.g. at GHash.IO ?

No, in fact there is an advantage, as soon as everything is set up and working. Mining at ghash.io increases their power, which in result allows them to perform a 51% attack more easily if they wanted to. By mining on p2pool, you do not help facilitate centralization of mining power.

so is 51% a viable threat or very unlikely to happen? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

That is the advantage of the network. I'm asking which one is beneficial as a miner and why ? p.s. I understand, as a pool owner, a normal pool is beneficial as pool owner may have commission from payment, which is not possible on a P2Pool. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

P2P is currently only for large miners.

Why do u think so ? What advantage a small miner gets at a normal pool ?

Many P2P nodes do not offer merged mining, while Ghash does. NMC merged mining can add ~1% to your return

Whatever u have said are the advantages of the network. What advantage does a miner get by joining the a P2Pool over a normal pool ?

I don't see any direct personal gain from using p2pool, but I believe everyone involved in bitcoin (miners, traders, merchants, and even faucet lovers) want bitcoin to be successful and want to see the price going up. While the major pools may not have any bad intentions at all, it is never a good idea to have the mining world overly-centralized, and it will negatively affect the confidence in bitcoin and hence the merchant acceptance, adoption rate and price.

If you are talking about the rewards, give it at least 6 months, both of them will have more or less the same payout for the last 6 months. Most normal pools have fees which can result in p2pool having more payout. They also have email notifications which alerts the user if the hashrate falls below X.

Is there any reward for the P2Pool owner ?

So, unless a P2Pool owner has his own mining equipment, he's not gonna profit from this ...right ? Because, like a normal pool owner, he cant charge ...is not it ?

Yes, if you run this command, screen -d -m -S btcp2pool ~/p2pool/run_p2pool.py (username) (Bitcoind password) It will automatically donate a small amount of the miner's revenue to you.

I don't really think this is possible, it is also quite expensive, try buying a dedicated server or VPS to host it. Their official website is http://p2pool.in/
