anyone know what happened over 4/20? good bad ugly?

[vesperwillow]

I saw that overnight.. seemed like something more than just fast blocks occured. My pool has solved back to back to back to back blocks, some within 1 second of eachother (most about 20 seconds apart) over the past few days and difficulty never did this. It jumped, but not like that. Could be wrong, but it sure seemed odd.

Not to mention the odds of finding that many blocks all within 180 seconds. I've been watching the nethashrate bobble the last couple of days, and it would take more than a multipool to do that.

Well, things seem back on track.

Price shot up on the 19th, then went right back down on 4/20. Dopecoin shot up like crazy too, don't think it has gone back down all the way like potcoin did. And before you all jump up my ass, I'm not a dopecoin user/holder or anything I'm just reporting the facts.

yep but I mean with regards to the atm's etc etc? I saw the dope guys were trying to stick their flyers all over the pot atms! hopefully the dev is quiet because he has something up his sleeve! and dope is back down! im holding both pot and dope! wish there was away to combine the 2!

Average Block time is 40 seconds. 1 second block times are certainly possible, albeit unlikely that several would occur in a row. But certainly possible.

The fact that they were confirmed should be enough to chalk it up to odd coincidence. If somebody was messing with the chain and attempting to cause harm we wouldn't know about it until the chain was actually forked. We would all just continue on the wrong chain unknowingly. Since the blocks did confirm and have not been orphaned after they were confirmed (sure sign of something amiss...) then I think its safe to assume things are running fine.

[vesperwillow]

Yup, totally agree. Quite an oddity. Nice to see things still running smoothly. Potcoin has done well even with multi's bouncing on it.

Multipools are a good sign we are doing something right  

[vesperwillow]

Is anyone else noticing that block 197672 has been solved for awhile, but most pools are reporting they're still on it?

Further evidence someone is working on a chain. Not to panic anyone, but this is the 3rd bit of circumstantial evidence of the chain being tinkered with in the past 24 hours.

197672 found here: http://pot.minermob.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks

Should be on 197673, as of a few moments ago only 1 other pool out of about 20 is on that chain, most others are hashing against 197672 still. Something isn't right.

[vesperwillow]

I just ran through about 60 pot pools. Almost none of them were on the same block, 3 or 4 pools were on 197672. Most others were between 197601-197656. The pool which supposedly found 197673 hasn't had a confirm for half an hour or more.

There's some private pools like mine out there, but it seems like the private hash makes up most of the network right now. Most of the public pools added up to maybe 500mh.

What's the weirdest thing, I didn't count any orphans among these active pools. Maybe 1 if I think hard.. how can all the pools be on different block heights with hardly any orphans? Maybe I'm missing something. Can the devs or folks with greater understanding than myself, explain this?

[almond]

And now, neither of my POTcoin wallets will sync.  It's been over 2 hours now.
 

weird that my local p2pool node is still mining through it. Does that mean it's on an incorrect fork ?
 
Time to shut down & mine elsewhere for awhile until this gets sorted out.

[vesperwillow]

Yeah, I've officially notified my private pool people to move to one of our other servers. I've moved my farm off of pot. There's clearly network manipulation going on, and/or something is broken in the network.

Unofficial warning: As of this second, if you're hashing pot, you're burning electricity for nothing. The Devs need to look into this and act fast.

PLS LET EVERYONE KNOW WE  PATCHED THIS A MONTH AGO>>>

DOWNLOAD THE LATEST POTCOIN.D  from GITHUB

has your pools updated their potcoin.d for KGW ??  if not your on the wrong chain

I'm up to date, and I doubt all of the other pools have failed to do the same thing. Even the block explorer is behind. Every pool op I know mining this is up to date. There's something wrong with the network.

[almond]

My wallets are current also.  I think vesperwillow is right.

I will confirm that the PotCoin network is stalled and there are several forks... I am running that latest wallet... 'v0.8.6.3-beta'... I cannot get past block #197672 for the past few hours... I am running the newest Windows compile that can be downloaded from the PotCoin web-site.

Cgminer is reporting a the difficulty of the current block at 15,800... there have been dozens of blocks solved at 5 second intervals as far back I can see in the log leading up to block #197672... there have been huge diffculty swings in the past 24 hours.

The blockchain has been compromised.

Would this imply that the now correct chain is being mined by a private person/pool? And is far ahead of us? I find it hard to believe that everybody all of a sudden stopped finding blocks.
