Title: Bytecoin stuck at block 14203
Post by: 2GOOD on April 08, 2013, 08:05:06 PM
Client stuck on: "blocks" : 14203

I can see that one of the pools is there too: http://pool.bytecoin.in/stats_netw.php

http://blockexplorer.bytecoin.in/

Interesting phenomena, fork ?! Aprils Fool :)

Edit: client states Out of sync

My client is connected to the network. Maybe a "hard" block. I remember BTC had a 90 min delay between blocks.

Btw, anyone selling BTE? Cheaper than usualy of coz. :D

this is common problem with alt coins, lot of people mine them while difficulty is low, when it gets higher they stop mining. so difficulty is too high to hashrate of network. this is flaw in bitcoin desing. same thing may happen to bitcoin one day.

i don't think anyone is selling now, because it is impossible to transfer coins if new blocks are not mined.

i don't know if this is the case, just guessing.

lol hard to imagine but u are probably right it moved to 14204

but 2.5h for 16384.25 diff, and almost 1TH this is nuts../

@wojtek two of my cards ~420MH have higher hashes in the last hour - diff is way low for the network speed

If I were u, guys, I would sell part of BTE just in case. It's called "hedge" if I recall correctly...

EDIT: Ah, it's moved. Never mind then.

Damn, why couldn't this confusion have lasted a little longer so I could have possibly bought some BTE for cheap ;D

it moved, this means one person has most of hashing power and had temporary outage.

it moved, this means one person has big hash power and was off temporarily.

No. That's just how probability works.

No luck at all. It's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution.

"Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had been suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.
And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more."

There is only one thing that can be done... MINING ;)

35k diff is nothing to be afraid of  8)
