This is alt-coin based question but is a technical question that harks back to the very core of Bitcoin architecture so you indulgence is appreciated.
I have been monitoring an alt-coin since inception, to protect the innocent we shall call it coinX (original *smurks to self*), and I have not had a problem maintaining a wallet for solo mining purposes. The coinX is a very low profile coin which is trying to encourage CPU mining only, so being a bit of a renegade, I uncovered the algo and began solo mining it. After a few days, my wallet is now always about 300 blocks behind. This appears to be a wide spread issue amongst the nodes, ~300 blocks behind, aside from 3 core nodes which I believe may be the developers upon which they are solo mining - effectively sucking up the coins.
So my tech question is - can a blockchain have a 'master node or nodes' which distribute a delayed version of the blockchain in order to discourage solo mining?
P.S. This is a re-launched coin and a similar series of events happened the first time round.
P.S.S. I have moved the blockchain in order to restart the bootstrapping from the master nodes. Yes it does refresh the blockchain but stops short by about 300 blocks.
