-# P2Pool hardforked on March 18, 2023

-P2Pool (not Monero!) hardforked to new consensus rules on March 18th at 21:00 UTC. The hardfork was necessary to improve P2Pool scalability and reduce the impact on Monero blockchain. You need to update to the latest P2Pool version to continue mining on P2Pool.
