It seems to be not a miner but more like xmrig proxy but coded in go so potentially easier to host in a secure manner. I think its for people who want to run a pool. P2pool has drawbacks, latency destroys at least 1% of your hash power. P2pool is not solo mining either so if you wanted to mine solo on dozens of rigs maybe it would be beneficial to also run your own pool since most of the infrastructure is ready to go. I assume a lot of pool operators are running xmrig proxy on the back end but maybe not.

You can solo mine with p2pool and have all your rigs connect to it. You just need to change the sidechain name from default to something else in the config.

As for the 1% loss in hash power, where did you get this statistic, speculation?

Oh I think I have accidentally run P2Pool with other than default name. Once I noticed I was winning every share I just aborted.

I believe the creator mentions in p2pool documentation that latency on the side chain leads to a delay that results in about 1% loss of efficiency. I'll see if I can look it up.
