cgminer mining terracoins "Network diff set to 68" strange behaviour?

[Trillium]

I have been watching my client do this for a few hours now:

Looking near the top of the window, it appears to me that the 'network' thinks the diff should be 19.6K but the client believes it is 68.

It always oscillates between a realistic difficulty and 68, always 68.

When it changes to 68 it often claims to have found a block. The found blocks are not accepted by the client or any pool and neither do they appear in my client when I use listtransactions, as they usually would if they were orphans.

Here you see it found a block... but it does not display the usual 'accepted' message on the next line.

It is as if some kind of disconnect is occurring between terracoin-qt and cgminer. I am using the following settings, if they stick out as potentially related... please let me know.

Code:

"expiry" : "2",
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "2",

Restarting client / miner / computer makes no difference.

Does anyone else get this behavior in their miner or is just me?

looks like its bouncing between your 2 pools

19.6 is your pool difficulty and the 68 is network difficulty , in other words for the pool to count a accepted share, you got to get 19.6 but to solve a block you got to get over 68

OK but I'm solo mining and pool 0 is localhost, why would it be different from the pools 1&2 in any case? The other pools are to provide new block detection only. I believe that the pool minimum share difficulty is another thing entirely, and you can see in the images they are reporting values of 4 and 32.

I occasionally (5% of the time?) see different numbers in the top of the miner (but each diff value is always in the tens thousands) however most of the time they are identical.

68 is essentially nothing compared to 19,600  

And why 68? Why not 42?

"Network diff set to 68" sounds as if that instruction was sent by terracoin-qt not from the pools. Why would it think 68 was the network diff?
