Title: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: kano on October 29, 2012, 12:55:47 PM Interesting routing issue with blocks over the last 2 hours ...
11 out of 16 said they came from the same IP in Switzerland :) http://207.36.180.49/BCIP.png Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: jl2012 on October 29, 2012, 01:20:25 PM Interesting routing issue with blocks over the last 2 hours ... 11 out of 16 said they came from the same IP in Switzerland :) http://207.36.180.49/BCIP.png search before you post Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: b!z on October 29, 2012, 01:20:31 PM Learn to Google
Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: eleuthria on October 29, 2012, 01:21:09 PM The IP they show is not always the IP that actually mined the block. Could be their listening nodes having routing issues to EU right now, and that particular node happens to be their best connection to any blocks generated overseas (all of Deepbit, 50BTC, etc.).
Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: kano on October 29, 2012, 02:50:20 PM Yes there are at least 2 pools creating the blocks.
One is running poolserverj and another isn't. It was just interesting to see 11 out of 16. I went looking for the other thread just now and yeah back then (a month ago) it was only 8% Anyway, as can clearly be seen, for this 2 hours it was 69% of the blocks that blockchain say were relayed by 82.130.102.160 Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: Akka on October 29, 2012, 02:54:42 PM Not again. You are probably the 100th person to "find" this.
It's the ETH Zurich, they are running a "super" node with about 1.500 connections and can therefore forward found blocks than the miner himself. Edit: See here, the one running the node is even on the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113715.msg1229314#msg1229314 Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: scrybe on October 29, 2012, 03:03:49 PM Yes there are at least 2 pools creating the blocks.

Looks like 50BTC had a run of luck, 5 of 8 blocks! The above posters and others have mentioned ETH Zurich, which is a supercomputer project that's optimized for different things than the average mining pool. It's a common suspect here, but in this case you really did see a string of luck from a single pool, you just had (even more) incomplete data only looking at the one site, and got lucky. Bitcoin is all about luck though, so good one! Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: kano on October 29, 2012, 03:09:11 PM Not again.

Yeah that thread says '10%' a month ago - but it was something like 8.x%It's the ETH Zurich, they are running a "super" node with about 1.500 connections and can therefore forward found blocks than the miner himself.

On 28.09.12 they made 100% for 70 minutes:

So this is really a good thing. Title: Re: End of the BTC world as we know it? :) Post by: kano on October 29, 2012, 08:22:19 PM Still nothing important. On 28.09.12 they made 100% for 70 minutes: Um - no that's 100% for 5 in a row (35 minutes)https://i.imgur.com/M2B7y.png Really, its just the best connected node we have. If more Universitys would run nodes like that, we would have solved the Blockchain size problem. So this is really a good thing. Or 78% of 9 blocks for 49 minutes ... Yes - again - it's a routing issue as I said in the first post. Of course meaning that some bitcoind on the net is WAY more connected than anyone else - and passing along blocks very fast. The fact that at least 2 pools (as I said further up and had already checked before I posted) produced the blocks proves that also.
