Rebooting when needed and I have 32 GB of RAM (16 of them for the p2pool VM atm) that have nothing better to be used for. Using a swap area doesn't seem to work IMO (at least in a VM), when I'm nearing full physical memory getblocktemplate latency deteriorates badly, so it's time for reboot...
FYI: I have my first p2pool node payment since the 3rd!
BTW if someone doesn't know that from elsewhere, dstorm's p2pool repository is up to date and should work without stopping for the fork.
HammerHead, you are correct about the way p2pool fees are calculated. Not that I've seen the code, but from what I've read the idea is that each share submitted by workers has x% chance to be considered created by the p2pool owner, where x is the fee percentage. My p2pool node makes (roughly)...
I renamed the old dir on Wednesday evening and got a fresh git clone. Still no payments.
$ ls -al | grep p2p

I'm using my own repo, but the difference compared to dstorm's is...
I calculated how much I should be getting and how much I actually got in 15 days - about 15 times less than the expected. This is either cosmically bad luck or some issue.
Well, I deleted the suspected UI and the data dir about 8 hours ago. Still no payment.
From what I've seen in other UIs, they only poll for data using javascript and visualize it using html and css, i.e. you could say (simplifying) they are read-only.
Interestingly, the suspected UI has a php file, which in contrast to the above is executed on the web-server side. I checked it -...
Yup. Before that I had similar large periods without luck.
I haven't yet made an actual calculation to see if it's consistent with luck. If that's not it I would think that the fee isn't calculated correctly (probably because it's less than 1%, idk) because of the previous dry periods...
I installed this UI on the 26th of May, though I published a link to it on my main p2pool web interface some time later - check my node to see how I installed (i.e. provided a link to) many UIs side by side. I had payments every day during the period 27th May - 3rd June and none since.
I have this UI as optional installed on my p2pool node.
I haven't seen a node payment in 7 days and I get 50-200 MH/s on my node!
Still, I can't imagine how the UI will cause this.
The xcoin-hash can be installed by entering its directory and executing
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Here's a tutorial how to install p2pool on a Debian in VirtualBox but most steps are the same. I can provide you with a ready virtual machine done as in the tutorial. If you're...

That's a tutorial I wrote. It works perfectly for me. It has links to the materials I used, so you can read up them if you prefer (though they might be outdated).
