Could you please set your clock correctly?

http://blockexplorer.com :

Code:

141208 	2ed9c752e3... 	2011-08-16 14:21:07 	35 	850.37489758 	12.393
141207 	2553560719... 	2011-08-16 14:27:45 	13 	305.77282401 	4.694

I believe there's a site logging which pool found a given block, what is it?

It is impossible to tell from that if the problem is Eligius or some solo miner/private pool.

But seriously, we are in the Internet Era people.  Install NTP already.

Well, I think we can now suggest that Eligius needs to fix their damn clock.  Look at 141,220 to 141,222

[jackjack]

Yep, block 141175 too

Code:

2011-08-16 10:43:30	141176	---?---	
2011-08-16 10:46:18	141175	eligiusst	19
2011-08-16 10:27:18	141174	deepbit	12

He's doing it intentionally.  From #bitcoin-dev on IRC a few days ago:

<luke-jr> fwiw, Eligius is intentionally setting its timestamps up to 2 hours into the future
<luke-jr> I'm abusing it as an extranonce until more miners implement noncerange+rollntime

[jackjack]

It seems to be more like 10 minutes

[twobits]

It seems to be more like 10 minutes

If he is using it as a nonce it is going to be random within the range he is offsetting it.

[jackjack]

Yeah sorry...
