[Bicknellski]

Just 1 more to go... 

WOOOO!

28,335

and

28,336

EQUAL Extra Payouts!

[ehoffman]

Just a quick question, 28336 have 7500FRC bounty payout, but what is there about 28335?

There is also a mention of 200FRC transaction fee donated to block 28336 (or is it 28335?)

There is also a mention of 200FRC transaction fee donated to block 28336 (or is it 28335?)

That was me, it was grabbed at block #28334, see:
http://frc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/block/0000000000001518232cc29c82d616a0aea5cfad6bc7774103ac6012f6b3fa3b
Already did a 100 fee a few blocks earlier that was grabbed by coinotron at block #28332

I originally planned to increase fees up to 28336, would love to do a 1000 fee transaction right now, but I'm not at home where I have my wallet :-(

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

LOL!  It's so painfully slow...  I keep checking the FRC explorer every 10 minutes, asking the same question, as a kid on a long way trip

1000 in transaction fees on the loose! Start hashing now!

148449.14813958


I downloaded and installed the most recent version just a couple of days ago.....

[ehoffman]

That's it!  

Let me check...

Nah...  It ain't me  It's contributor mavric at coin-o-tron actually, too bad the pool is keeping the transaction fees.

I'm going for block 28336!

My freicoin client API is also reading 148K difficulty.

Edit:  That's clearly a bug in the API.

Difficulty report 148K.  Packed difficulty from Getwork report convert to 37.3K.  The "target" from getwork is also correct.  Just the "Difficulty" as floating point representation is wrong.  TODO... Devs! 

[coinotron]

Coinotron's  FRC client shows:

freicoind getdifficulty
148449.14813958

Block 28335 was solved by Coinotron. 1000 FRC goes to user mavric ! As soon as block 28335 reaches 120 confirmations

dustcoin also still showing 148k diff...

I edited my post, but since a few more added in the meantime, here's my findings

Connected to 192.168.1.102 diff 37.3K without

It's not a bug per se, that is what the API "getdifficulty" does. It provides the difficulty of the most recent block. That is not the same as the difficulty of the block currently being worked on. For anyone that relies on "current" difficulty you need to compute it off the the target yourself. It's really obvious in coins like TRC where the difficulty changes every block, esp if you use a payment system that relies on block difficulty/reward (like DGM).

Places like coinchoose/dustcoin should be calculating difficulty for their charts from the target or packed bits, not from 'getdifficulty'.

That explains is very nicely... Thank you.
