Why so few people here support p2pool and concentrate hash in centralized mining pool ?
with p2pool you mine to YOUR wallet directly, have hundreds of fail over nodes, and from my experience you get more coins.
and do something for spreading decentralizing hash.
why so negative attitude towards p2pool ?
I've had bad experiences with P2Pool from my Vertcoin days (a long time ago in a land far far away)...
Pool owners were running nodes on their 486's using slow domestic connections, and I never trusted such a high error rate.
If you know of any good P2Pool's please let me know and I'd like to give them a try. I will be switching a large part of my farm back to DRK in the next few days...
well, use
http://drk.poolhash.org/scanner.html to find 2-3 closest one to you, and use them in your config.
you can try my node too,
http://ca.p2pool.sk:7903, but its in europe. so just use one of the closest one.
also have multiple nodes configured, to have fail over nodes.
remember, p2pool is pplns, and it takes at least 24h to get to the full payment levels. this is preventing poolcoin hopping, so 24x7 miners are best served.
And variance is higher than on mpos pools, but you should end up mining more.
