Title: Nanopool steals founded blocks
Post by: Ystss on June 07, 2018, 06:57:15 AM
After the fork the difficulty abruptly dropped on electroneum and tons of people started to mine it.  When difficulty dropped to the bottom the blocks suddenly couldn’t be found at about 23.42. At the same time the power of the pool went up to 53mx at the peak, everyone bought orders on nicehash.

New blocks couldn’t be found for about an hour but the net was fine. Just a food for thought, make your own conclusions...

Now I see the same thing. Nanopool half an hour can not find the block. During this time, others found them 150 blocks.
Nanopool was very upset.

That's probably a vulnerability in the blockchain. If a pools are finding blocks that the network doesn't see then there are usually multiple chains caused by a split due to, say, future blocktime vulnerabilities.

Hey guys,

Due to the issue we had, basically Electroneum wallet started rejecting all the blocks that Nanopool submitted right after the ANTI-ASIC fork.
Thus we had to submit empty blocks while were cooperating with ETN team in order to get the block rejection issue fixed as soon as possible.
