5 shares accepted out of 853 !

LOLZ  

Solo has netted me 2 valid out of 961 blocks. 99.8% orphaned.

[tacotime]

difficulty should not have been started so low ugh

We're at difficulty 2 (or whatever the next one was) now

[wallet.dat]

Make that 30+ previously generated blocks that have now turned invalid as per the message above.

Same.  I knew it was too good to be true

^C
i0.btcguild.com : xmt/rcv/%loss = 7/7/0%, min/avg/max = 189/189/189
nmc@nmcpc:~/i0coin$

At 189 ms I'll never get a block...

110 share, none accepted

pretty horrible gotta wait til difficulty goes up. LOL man anyone else having lots of connection problems on i0guild?

[Tx2000]

holy shit did I just get decimated.  All my blocks disappeared.

[Fletch]

If I have solo mining up and running, is that preferable to using i0guild at this time?

How can I tell if I find a block? I started i0coind.exe, but when that's running, I can't run the regular client at the same time.

that sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Just got one block from btcguild

I was expecting some to disappear but I guess i0guild took dominance over the chain and as a result, poof.  Oh well.  Interesting to say the least.

You need to use command prompt queries. From i0coin/daemon directory type "i0coind help" to see a list of commands.

Some people are reporting the same thing.  I saw a few of my blocks disappear too, even ones that had confirmations.  But now that I think about it, it didn't make sense that I had mined 80 blocks out of 240 so far lol

[tacotime]

it looks like it's about 3 shares/block right now on i0.btcguild.com

[deepceleron]

Crap, I need some IP address to bootstrap, since it looks like I got the IRC k-line too and I'm dead in the water with 2 connections...

Post some IPs from the IRC channel or your firewall connection log please!

Or if you have more than 8 connections, upload your addr.dat file to mediafire.com (it has the ip addresses of other network clients) and share or pm please!

[foggyb]

A block is fully confirmed after 120 confirmations.

stop i0coind then run "i0coin.exe -server" instead


For all current bitcoin/forks, you can start the client with the -server flag instead. This will allow you to solo mine and use the GUI client at the same time.

[alkhdaniel]

fuck yeah, i found one

http://i0.btcguild.com/block_inspect.php?block=1480

Also got another one accepted, but it's not on the list yet.

~550mhash.

I'm just watching because I was curious to see how the network/protocol would behave in this situation.

It looks like from look at btcguild's block page, they believe they're finding ALL the blocks from their perspective. In periods where they're finding >50% of the blocks, they're effectively coming up with their own block chain where they're the winner to everything. When they don't manage to muscle out everyone else, they end up losing their whole forked chain.

Is this right? Anyone with more experience with how the block collision scheme works could probably answer this better, but it's kinda interesting to watch the debug log showing the battles.

[hawks5999]

Does the full blockchain have to load before solo mining works?

My client only has 1066 blocks but I see over 1600 at btcguild.

Should i just wait until my client catches up (if it can)?

8 connections btw
