TERRACOIN ATTACK OVER 1.2TH ATTACK CONFIRMD

[roy7]

Speaking of which, he's moved on to greener pastures it appears. Still, that was a big help to move one of those blocks off quickly. But yes, will take a while now.

[roy7]

But they did it way better than the attacker from the last few days because they didn't take a 100% of the cake.
And also everybody else was profitting of the generally-low-difficulty as well, whereas last days' attacker was so fast almost everybody else was filling the orphanages.
But there were quite a few situations where we probably had been stuck for quite a while hadn't someone used the halve-diff trick for getting diff back down sooner than otherwise.

Kind regards
Mike

Thank you Mike270. I forgot, but I spotted this a month ago. I just didn't understand what I was seeing. I reported it to the forum and never heard anything further about it:

Where can you mine this coin?  Coinotron and Multipool doesn't seem to work.  

Also, What are the rpc ports for solo mining?

You can use my pool in my sig (www.royalminingco.com).

Not sure on solo mining port off hand.

Can solo mine on whatever port you set it to in terracoin.conf

I just put 220 G/H to you Royal Mining - for the rest of the day.

If anyone wants to donate a few TRC to the 'lets get us to block 175050 fund' (Not a requirement! taking a ~$300 loss on BTC mining for the day).

Awesome iluvpcs, thank you!

8 miners @ 224.66GH/s are mining block 175040 with difficulty 351362. Avg time/block: 1h 52m

That should knock a number of blocks out.

I'm stuck at 175038, 22 hours behind. I'm using 0.1.3-44.

Do I just wait or do I need to take action?

EDIT: Waiting did it. It now says it is up-to-date.

175039 took several hours to clear, I'd bet the problem was downloading all the transactions that occurred during that time.

Doubtful. Transactions are tiny in bytes. The block itself should be no less than 1 MB. If it took horus for you to download 1 MB something is wrong with your connection.

Next difficulties will be:

304455
348553
382574
404237
412645
408217
392442
367529
336037
300544

block 039 in fact has 304518 difficulty, so your calculation looks pretty much accurate, does that mean that we will have 1 block per day at this pace?

Newest block is 175046 ... How many more blocks to get back to normal levels?

[jkminkov]

if you have trouble with sync - open console and type getpeerinfo

pick all IPs that have "startingheight" : higher than 1750xx

find some tool* and close those connections, if you have a firewall, you can temp block them for a while

at some point you will be connected to unaffected peers and it will sync, when you kill connections it will add new IPs that could be affected too, repeat if you see "0 hour(s) behind"

Yup, and looks like last couple blocks were p2pool miners. So they are getting onto the new chain too.

Rebooted pool just now to apply a bfgminer fix that was crashing one of the bigger miners.

Does this mean if redpoint has found block 175598 then it's on the wrong chain?

Yes

[RoadTrain]

And the supposed attacker came back when difficulty dropped - look at coinbase address starting at 175064

[roy7]

At least he has to mine at the real difficulty though.

How's TRC status these days?

How's TRC status these days?

Yeah I'm wondering the same. Low hash power and profitability on multipool is scaring me away from running my block eruptors on trc again...
