Block 179641 is showing "-1" confirmations.  Is that an invalid block or are the confirmations stuck?

Oh!  I didn't know that I could click on "Overview" in the drop down menu.  I only thought that the bitcoin block history page existed.  Noob mistake.

However, deepbit have another 20+ blocks thats not marked under deepbit thats why it looks like they run extremely unlucky.

I am getting security warnings from Avast antivirus that is preventing me from accessing just the website on one of my non-mining machines... Anyone else running into this? If is turn off 'Network Shield' I can access it... Problem is, there is no exclusion table for the Network Shield so I can whitelist ozcoin....

Here is the 'More Info' from Avast:

everyone using avast is running into this, sorry I guess I should have posted sooner, I emailed avast about the false positive (as have a few other miners), but have had no response

somehow they think we are serving up "poclbm" from our mining nodes - as miners would be aware we serve getworks to the poclbm or other mining software you installed on your machine

false positives will be a way of life for a long time, most mining software has been flagged as virus at some stage because it is included in trojan droppers - guilt by association :/

Thanks for the info.  If not for this posting I probably would have missed it since I don't frequent the area which it was posted.
Thanks,

I've got a response from Avast over the flagging of ozco.in as a virus/malicious link.


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Link avast gave me as their 'evidence' is here:http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ozco.in+virus

I guess we should let this be a lesson to never use Avast because, if for no other reason, their customer service is full of stupid.

You've got that right.Avast is clearly unhelpful in this case.I think we should advise those using avast to use an alternative Antivirus solution instead.The link they gave didn't even give useful answers.

[organofcorti]

Customer service? Sending you a 'let me google that for you" link? Where's that big red Fail stamp ......

I did look at the search results though, and one of the listings has multiple AV hits against your url (specifically port 8332), not just Avast. If it's your pool server that's setting them off, check with anyone else using the same pool server if they're also getting the same hits.

Fail from Avast on an epic scale. They are referencing a google search that points to systems other than their own as "proof", and those external systems fail because they think the URI indicates a virus, when it is only an API key.

Like API keys can be viruses.lol.Time to give avast my middle finger for failing me as a user.I switch off their network and web shields as they both cause grief and stop miner connections to ozco.in port 8332. If avast has the balls to come here and explain,then that'd help us.

Time to reply to avast with a link:
