Title: No Peercoin blocks found by pools for a while
Post by: digitalcitizen on January 05, 2019, 08:38:30 PM
I wonder what's going on with Peercoin?

The popular pools are not finding blocks for days, the network hashrate has gone right up, maybe it's a solo miner who is taking all the rewards for the past few days.

Cointron used to have a PPC pool I think, but no more.  Maybe it just didn't work out.

Does anyone know of a good Peercoin pool that might find a block once a day or something?  Or is it just a bad idea to mine now, or is it best to try some luck with half the network hash rate or more and solo mine?

Thanks,
 :)

Well, seems like the network is still generating blocks. You can use the block explorer to see which wallets the block rewards are going to.

Fantastic, thanks.  I think I just didn't understand how it worked.  I thought the pool was working on the wrong block, but it doesn't, maybe it confirms those while it works on the next one, or something like that.

I tried it, you are right, it works.  Thank you.  :)
