Huh? Where did 454000 come from?

That's only true for a PPS pool though, not the more usual pools that
pay relative to blocks actually found. Heh, actually, that might be part
of the problem... also doesn't help how varience is going to make
noticing 1% hard.

P2Pool has 1% hashing power right now; I mine on it myself with what
little hashing power I have.

The more interesting thing is how do you grow P2Pool - requiring a full
node is going to make that tricky. Also the once we start adding more
efficient block propagation by transmitting headers + txids p2pool's
current advantage goes away.
