Jan 24, 2012 at 13:16 comment added Sean Chapman @ripper234 that's a good point but it feels as if I'm not contributing I suppose
Jan 24, 2012 at 12:28 comment added ripper234 @SeanChapman - your expected contribution to the vote stays the same anyway, and switching to P2Pool is a good idea in general. You get a small bonus, instead of a fee, and contribute to decentralizing Bitcoin.
Jan 24, 2012 at 12:19 comment added Sean Chapman Well if I use P2Pool I'll likely never solve a block in time to have my vote broadcast (my hash power is about 517MHash), so I may as well contribute to a pool who's voting the same way I am, unless I'm misunderstanding how voting would work with p2pool
Jan 24, 2012 at 11:57 comment added ripper234 @SeanChapman - why not P2Pool?
Jan 24, 2012 at 10:11 comment added Sean Chapman Well I think I have an incredibly slim chance of solving a block so I think I'll give my hashing power to a pool that is voting the same way I want to vote

Jan 23, 2012 at 12:30 comment added ripper234 @SeanChapman - that is true - the miner that actually solves the block will decide what to vote.
Jan 23, 2012 at 12:24 comment added Sean Chapman I was going to set up P2Pool but don't I have to solve a full block before my vote is actually "cast"?
Jan 23, 2012 at 12:16 vote accept ripper234
Jan 23, 2012 at 12:16 comment added ripper234 @SeanChapman - yeah, the pool owners decide how to vote. To vote for yourself, either solo mine or join P2Pool.

Jan 23, 2012 at 9:56 comment added Sean Chapman Well I for one had no idea I could vote. Or how to do so. I'm guessing that because I'm mining in a pool that I forfeit my vote to the pool owner?
