03:08:19 <noperallels> why update binaries daily? i just noticed that.. haven't updated in a week. Also as part of me reading more 'fine print', I noticed it says my pool share only lasts about 6 hours? So I run p2p for over a week and still don't have a share, does this mean when I DO get a share, that 6 hours later I'll be back to zero? If that's the case this is pointless at 1kH/s.
03:34:23 <nioc> Yes.  The amount you will expect to earn is the same as if you were on any other pool.  The difference is that you will get paid as soon as you earn it as opposed to having to wait until you have accumulated enough for a payout 
04:05:53 <noperallels> wouldn't it be better off overall if i just run a full node and solo mine? I mean if I'm basically making $0, then fine, but at least solo I'm helping out the network?
04:06:20 <noperallels> I'm not trying to make money here. lol.
04:10:05 <nioc> you are running a node in order to mine on p2pool
04:13:16 <nioc> you run monerod and also a p2pool node.  The p2pool node uses very little resources
