A question about blocks found versus mined. The blockchain shows the following blocks were found by Bitminter:

284419*
284411
284387
284376
284352*
284348*
284293*
284288
284251*
284231
284212*
284206*
284170

I placed an asterisk next to the blocks that were mined according to the stats. What happened to the other blocks found? Thanks.

Todat I did same check:
284860*
284835*
284702*
284640-?
284637- orph
284615-? hacker took 100.31925533 BTC in mining earnings. You can see pattern sent not to Bitminter but other address's.
284562*
284557*
284419*
284411-?
284387-?
284386-?
284352*
284348*

same thing again!
I think someone has hacked Bitminters and is stealing the coins like 11,445.96552062 BTC!! or more..
They are doing it when the CDF is high.

My miners have stopped mining at Bitminter and switched to P2Pool backup.  

Website seems ok, but obviously zero work being done there now.

UPDATE: Ok it's back!

Glad am not the only one ,mine got down 2mhps out of a total of 3.7mhps .then they stopped completely yesterday restarted them but still only 2mhps ,they stopped all together again today ,restarted just now and still only 2mhps.  I reported this a few pages back ,My hardware are asicminer usbs on windows vista 64bit and 8gig of ram .

Not our block.... DO NOT USE BlockChain INFO...

Can someone come up with a catchy, Don Draper-esque, '50s inspired jingle to go with

"Don't use blockchain.info for block attributions, use http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/ instead!". Pomp-tiddly-omp.

it's not catchy, but it's at least sticky: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=123726.0

If you didn't believe the explanation that blockchain.info is wrong about where the blocks come from, then look at our hashrate and look at how many blocks blockchain.info is saying we made. Watch this over some time. Then ask yourself: is it more likely that we have incredibly good luck at mining every day, or is it more likely that blockchain.info is wrong?

Restarted my computer and the client found my asics again ,so for now am back to full speed .

I may be a newbe but,
I do not understand why this is such a problem after so many years.
It make's me lose faith in the Bitcoin system itself is very poorly coded if it can't even get which pool did what..

The bitcoin protocol was designed with anonymity in mind, not attributability.

Anybody know of a site that shows No errors, Unknowns?
Also what's stopping someone to change the payout to another address for a found block?

Currently there's no way to know for sure who mined a block. Coinbase signatures, known generation addresses and claims by pools are very good indicators, but anyone could solve a block, sign it with some pool's coinbase sig and send the generated coin to that pool's known generation address. There's no way to know.

If there was enough room in the coinbase to add a salted hash of the coinbase sig with the salt revealed in the next solved block, at least you could have a chain of attribution. But with all the merged mining cruft in the coinbase I don't think there's enough room.

Thanks that helps

we should earn 69 coins a day just under 3 blocks a day.

so about every 8 hours and 30 minutes we should get a block.

 A great day would be 7 blocks.

A bad day 1 block. Pretty simple  but it can drive you batty waiting for the next block.

[Isuearl]

I am curious.  I am wondering if I create more workers, and split my lower hashrate hardware from my higher hashrate hardware would I get more shares?  IE the lower hash hardware would get a lesser difficulty, while the higher does the higher difficulty....instead of all my hardware on one worker working at a combined hashrate at a higher difficulty....hmmmmm

Website is showing 0 Thps, live stats are empty, and client is disconnected

OMG this is teh END! Germany reporting offline and 0 Thps as well.
