It'd be nice if all the servers could be pinged also. I've tried pinging all the servers in this topic, but a few couldn't be reached. So far P2PMining.com is still the best for me at ~60ms.
http://p2pmining.com/ does more than most of the pools here. He has built his pool with a special front end to pay based on diff 1 shares. This is probably a good choice for people with small rigs. He also pays out Namecoin. Most of the people here (including me) just have ports open to the normal p2pool. I just setup my firewall to respond to pings.

http://just-ping.com is good for this kind of thing. For example, mine's pretty decent all over europe but typically >100ms to the US: http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=195.234.11.101&c=&s=pingThere are a lot of dead servers in this topic though... Running ping from your miner is probably the best idea since that is what you will actually be getting. However, the server might not be setup to respond to pings. Mine wasn't until just now. We need a script to time an http request to the pool for more accurate results.

I'll fix the ping issue in a little bit for that specific IP.

So it looks like only one of the listed servers is down.

Obviously, my pool has a very low ping time since it is local. Just thinking out loud. Public node advertising could be built into p2pool. Maybe if a flag is set, the client will join a special IRC channel. Then a simple client could be written to look at all the nodes in that channel and connect to one. Maybe the nodes could advertise fees, uptime, if they have merged mining, etc. It could at least be a nice way to setup a backup pool. EDIT: So I just realized my script does not distinguish between bitcoin and litecoin pools? I'll add that now. Done

ping in terminal shows thirdlight as up. Was down when Red Emerald tested, was up again when check_status checked, ahem, the status. Please disregard that discrepancy.

Are both results valid? Any Suggestions? My script checks the response time to actually fetch work. If this works, the pool is up. If it doesn't work, the pool is down. Pinging from the command line is just checking network latency. If this works, the server p2pool runs on is up. If it doesn't work, the pool might be on or off. For example, my firewall used to block pings while letting p2pool traffic through. tl;dr My script is more accurate than a simple ping.

Hi, I've added graphs to my entry point, you need to use the bitcoin address for payments as username and graph as password to be able to see your worker/s at http://p2pool.soon.it:9332/graphs/spiccioli.

Anyone mind testing my BTC node? I am still building my first rig and I noticed lot of dead share on my p2pool local graph. I dunno if his miner is misconfigured or if the problem is on my side. Thank's!

So, who's seen extra hashes out of this thread? I'm pointing 1 5830 at my node and getting 700-900Mh/s, so it's getting at least some use finally

I've got my pool actually passing out payments again. I guess the problem was me only having 12Mhash/s to play with. xD Also, we've got some of the best pings for USA hashers. Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

When I first announced my public p2pool node (back in February), someone mined on it for like 6 hours. I haven't had any activity since then.

Apologies, mine has been down for most of today due to this deeply unusual error (any help much appreciated) which keeps crashing the server at seemingly random intervals. Right now I'm in the middle of a full reinstall of bitcoin 0.60 rc4 (+ blockchain) and p2pool. I'll pm you once I get the server back online - shame really, I peaked at around 4.1Gh/s the other day...
