Anoncoin does not seem to update blocks since ~200 blocks ago. Stuck?

Possibly - http://explorer.anoncoin.net/chain/Anoncoin/ is where I get my stats.  Know who runs that?

Why do some coins seem to disappear? For instance HBN is not on the site currently.

Block explorer dead.  HBN is a coin I still can't get the daemon to run, so until the block explorer comes back up, it will stay removed.

I noticed Lebowski coins are not on the list now too, is this because of similar issues or something else? Thank you!

Too much crazy happening in that post .  Yes, it is the same.  http://lbw.webboise.com:2796/chain/Lebowskis/ is down.

Hi- I'm running a script that pulls JSON data from your site, and apparently my IP has been banned. Am I pulling data too often? I was running every one minute, now I"m changing it to 5. I'll go even longer if you'd prefer. Let me know.

Or maybe the problem is something else?

"The owner of this website (www.coinchoose.com) has banned your access based on your browser's signature. (Ref. 1010)"

Sorry if I've been taxing your servers or anything, it wasn't my intention!

It can handle once a minute, but the data shouldn't change that often (it is about every 5 now as the site got larger).

I'm getting this error regardless of the update time. Any ideas? The script is in python.

FTC Difficulty changes.. Why do they seem to always lag behind in updates when Difficulty drops?

I concur, I am trying to implement auto switching between FTC and LTC but I cannot because coinchoose says FTC difficulty is 193 whereas its actually 137.  Can we get this fixed it would be most appreciated.


thanks

I am using Cryptocoinexplorer to get the difficulty for FTC.  It appears there must be an issue there and I will reach out to the person who runs that site.

You need to PM me your IP.  CloudFlare likely identified you as an attack.

Ahh!!  So the current difficulty is still 193, but the next diff is lower.  So, it seems my stats are still correct??

Have you tried setting a UserAgent in your code (below in PHP):

         URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
          conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB;     rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)");

Haha.  I thought you would say that.  YES,  your stats are correct now,  but they weren't 3 hours ago when I posted the above update.  Your site looks like it missed the drop in difficulty completely

Wouldn't it make sense to use stats.feathercoin.com?

[sal002]

Well, to be fair - cryptocoinexplorer missed the diff drop  Was their a code change that allowed the diff drop to occur?  That is usually why sites miss changes - the code changes and an older version is still powering the site.  

I am, more or less, moving to local daemons as well, and just maintaining all these coins can get out of hand.

Incorrect. The difficulty change happened around 11pm eastern time last night and dropped to 137, and then about 2 hours ago, went back to 193.

So yes, your stats are correct now, but no, this is the 2nd time that I've noticed the drop was not seen by coinchoose. I can say other sites showed it.
