That's exactly their purpose for dumping so much hash on the network. Tie it up and leave a high diff behind.
The reason is anyone's guess.

An additional exchange for cSC has been needed for a while.

Have you sent it and received in your verge wallet yet?

Here's the skinny on that china "exchange"....smells pretty rotten.

What's with the date showing Dec 2015?

just checked out coinomi, looks pretty nice. I've always been a little adverse to mobile wallets but may give this one a try.
just one question, how in the heck would 2fa work? You are holding the phone that you use to use it? Dumb question I know and the answer may be somewhere on their site I'm sure.


Oh, our "friend" may have visited us last night......all times are EST.Not on the scale of the earlier ones this week.

About midnight net hash went from 11,000 to 60,000 MH , eased up to 67,000 mH about 5:00 am.
Briefly dipped to a more normal 14,ooo MH.....and shot up to 179,000 MH briefly at 6:15 am.
as of about 7:00 am this morning its 22,000 MH.
Whoever they are , this may be an indication of hash power they own and the other earlier power from the last couple days was rented.
But who really knows.
Sure is screwing up our night time mining.  

Have two A2's pointed at xvg now....that's alot of trouble for you to go to. Everyone should just start mining the crap out of and rent some additional as individuals if they need to.....there's plenty of rigs there at MRR of all sizes

Wow, network is up to 28K of hash. Lotsa hands pulling on the rope. 

*shrugs* Who knows?
Only the perp knows the why.....and if they're renting alot of or all of that hash....probably spending more than they would realize, even if price really shoots up.
If it's pure malice.....wow. Somebody's pretty po'ed.

The wallet is out of synch because of the network has no blocks moving.
It's stopped like yesterday.
Just leave it open, when the ahole that's hitting the network with so much hash and frozen it up leaves.....
 we can turn miners to the coin and bust the high difficulty block and get things moving again.

In the mean time it's useless to mine XVG.....you're not doing anything

Is cryptopia still listing cryptsy orphans for a reduced cost?
Seems like  it was only $40 or so.
If dev would setup a fund I'd chip in $10....it needs to be him that takes the lead though.

 
this is getting old....not as bad as yesterday.
Kicked in about same time, just over 200,000 MH and ....way less difficulty although suprnova reports 7,200 and Smarterhash reports 4859.
And still ongoing.

Who's jacking us up?  

-edit Is that transaction for block 246207 the culprit, nope never mind thats just the usual block size moving with some transfers
at least I think it was.
I'm far from a block chain explorer expert.

block rate broke from zero and went high for about twenty minutes and now its struggling but should soon be back to normal I hope.
Suprnova and Smarterhash agree that network hash is around 8,780 MH.
Difficulty in low 200's.

Keep mining guys!  

Wallets resynched and received two transactions that were balled up. 

Moved everything I have to XGV pool ay suprnova



things are starting to move!  
suprnova reports net hash at 1,438 MH - whew!
uhoh back to 25000+

I figured you would be on top of this. 

Just to be clear...the earlier chart was the average blocks per day RATE....without any blocks we are truly dead. Didn't think to see if all that hash came from MRR. You're right someone spent a TON of Btc to do this.

Here's the chart of the network hash last 24 hours....as expected its the reverse, the network difficulty shot up as well
No worries, We'll get through this.  

Since I mine 24/7 on different places, I leave several wallets open on my desk top to receive coins.
Got in this morning and my Verge wallet with 27 network connections is out of synch.
There has to be activity on the network to keep things humming.......no blocks and  transactions take a longer  (if any are even processed)
and apparently synched wallets lose their synch.

Like to hear from Dev on this.
Here's what dead in the water looks like....that's last 24 hour  normal block rate going to virtually zero

suprnova pool with 24 miners and 2900mh hasn;t found a block since 11:20 last night eST. Block number 244671
accordong to blockexperts.....verge is only on 244684 and its 7 hours old
https://www.blockexperts.com/xvg


difficulty is 15,045

If there's no blocks, there's no coin for anybody......network is stalled.

All those guys at suprnova are mining thin air.....its a shame

but they have no coins if there are no blocks.

well, blocks stopped about the same time....so what has it accomplished other than shutting verge mining down completely?
in the words of Buffalo Springfield...." There's something happening here"
