Block 310,000 hurry up! Wasnt it supose to pos this week? Block times are running much slower than 1 per minute. It seems that the high difficulties recently are slowing down the block times. The fork is scheduled for block 310,000, whenever that is reached. Reminder: This fork is only for a block reward reduction and implementation of KGW. The PoS fork will happen a few weeks after that. It's a two-phase process. Thanks for update.

The fork is scheduled for block 310,000, whenever that is reached. Reminder: This fork is only for a block reward reduction and implementation of KGW. The PoS fork will happen a few weeks after that. It's a two-phase process. Step back one logic unit. It is the low hash rates during high difficulties that are slowing down the block / confirmation times. The reason is - that some miners are hopping into SLR when the Diff is low, mining out the 15 blocks and moving on. Leaving the low base line hash to mop up 15 blocks at relatively high diffs. They then return when the yo - yos..... Rinse and repeat. The 15 block change has mitigated this to a large degree, but it is still possible and quite profitable to use this MO. I wrote a simple program to do this using WestHash a few days back and allowed the software to change between 0.05GH/s and 1GH/s to use the method above. Very easy to do and profitable compared with using a steady hash rate. However this behavior is very disruptive on the block chain, so I stopped after running for an hour to prove the numbers. It happens on most coins, even BTC, but the Net hash rate is so large that individual behaviour like this is absorbed and hard to spot. At first blush this activity seems selfish and rather pointless. However miners are always trying to improve their ROI and anything goes if it works. What we are seeing now is just this activity from a number of miners and there is really no practical way of stopping it using the diff algorithm we have. After the fork, this should all go away as unless there is another way to game the system, there will be no point.

Single digit difficulty again That didn't last long! It never does! I wasted some BTC the other day trying to mine, it was pointless... I'll try again closer to 310,000 so the KGW can protect us from these spike shenanigans.

Update: The SolarCoin team has tested the Windows wallet and it's working great. There's a minor kink to be ironed out on the Mac wallet, and hopefully that will be fixed soon and we can release all the wallets this weekend.

Is KGW will be available when the pools updates the code or do we have to wait until block 310K for this too ?

Several months ago I was really wishing I had the money to pre-order one of those. Good thing I was broke at the time!

I renamed my wallet.dat and started this new app for testing purposes. It's re-indexing the block files at the moment. I'll report more about the app later.

Thanks for the links. SLR 1.5 installed and indexed up correctly. Faster startup Small syntax / spelling mistake : When sending a small transaction (0.01 SLR) it tells you that the 'Transaction is below Maximum - adding 0.001 transaction fee? - Maximum should read Minimum. Accepts config and server mode correctly. Has a minimum password length (unknown) on configuring server function of unknown length but greater than 8 and less than 20. Unable to get server functions atm due to lack of time. Are they implemented ?
