i think i'll need to upgrade  my server though

Welcome Naelr, I've added it to the list.

@zvs  - I need more info to add your pool to the list. If you could provide your info in the following format I can add it to the list:

Format: City/State/Province::Country::IP Address:Port::Fee::Coinage Mined::Pool Name::Operator (Nick)Name

Thanks for helping.

[Naelr]

Oops guess I should say my BTC/NMC is merged .. and I noticed that most people are 0.0% .. now I feel like a thief in the night!

Massively Merged Mining: http://p2pool.knotwork.com:10332

Halifax Nova Scotia::Canada::p2pool.knotwork.com:10332::0%::BTC,NMC,DVC,GRP,I0C,IXC,CLC::Massively Merged Mining::MarkM (knotwork)

I have set commission to ZERO so that all the bitcoins mined will go out to the miners automatically.

That means how much each miner contributed will be recorded in the bitcoin blockchain; altcoin awards can then be computed from that data.

So, do you intend to pay out also the altcoins, proportionally?

That would be really nice...

No. Either the altchains portion of miner awards will be paid in DeVCoins or each miner will get to choose which altcoin to be paid their altchain awards in. I prefer DeVCoins not only because the motivation to open my p2pool setup to the public was a DeVCoin pool bounty but also because DeVCoin addresses are (deliberately) identical to BiTCoin addresses thus DeVCoin awards can be sent to their BiTCoin address. (They simply need to export its private key from their bitcoin wallet and import it into a DeVCoin wallet to access the DeVCoins.)

I can pay the awards on my Open Transactions server too, so they can be conveniently exchanged into any of the other coins/assets.

The pool has its own announcement thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102691.0 and it also has a thread in the altchains section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102661.0

I don't get this, are people making manual payments then or how are they running pools? Did P2Pool update so that you can manually mine on any p2pool node using your Bitcoin address as a username?

You've been able to do that since pretty much the beginning. Any shares you find are then paid out to the address that you set as a username, same as if you were running your own node.

I've updated p2pool.stitthappens.com (both BTC/NMC on 8336 and LTC on 10336) to the 4.0 tag

This was the way it always was. I ran one for a little while, but first my fees were 0.1% (not worth it, these days I run a bonus pool paying 105-109% PPS and still make 3-6% profit) and then because of the anonymous nature of p2pool somebody decided to point a bunch of bots my way and my VPS provider got a complaint. Not cool.
Kinda surprised p2pool is still so popular - what's the situation these days with "luck"/pool orphans?

[stevegee58]

I have a naive question.  Why join some little p2pool server when I can just join p2pool directly?  I never got this.

From p2pool.info:

Pool Luck(?) (7 days, 30 days, 90 days): 109.8% 107.7% 105.3%

Though it's on a looong round right now.

Some people don't know how to setup their own p2pool server, so they join a public one.

Well, you have CPU and bandwidth issues you have to take on too.

If you don't have a lot of bandwidth, you may be better off pointing your miners at a public p2pool node. That node would handle all of the bandwidth themselves, that would be needed to stay sync'd with the other p2pool nodes, as well as the bitcoind/litecoind daemons and their bandwidth needs also.

Since I have the bandwidth available, I also maintain more connections on both of my daemons and p2pool node, than you'd probably see on the average node.

I handle keeping everything current on their updates too.

For some miners, not having to mess with all of that is worth my tiny fee, particularly if they are in a more rural area.

The public nodes are also useful for people who just want to try out mining through p2pool for a while before making the full commitment to doing it all themselves.

And lastly, it is always good to have a couple failovers set up in your miners, in case your own p2pool or daemon crashes for whatever reason, your miners would just switch over to the public node using the same payout address, picking up exactly where you left off on your own node with little interruption, while you figure out what went wrong on your node.

If you only check on your rig a few times a day, having a public node failover could save you hours of mining effort if you don't notice your own node having stopped for several hours after it happened.
