i am still mining.
are there any plans for a discord?

[Sparks60]

i need to report some findings, i have a server with 8  separate vm nodes all running xubuntu 26 and mining , and some of the nodes is forking off main chain and losing blocks, as pulling way ahead of main chain. only way i can fix it is stop node, delete all chain data, and start over, and having to do this often. is there not some sort of fork protection?

Set up your PC to mine. Unfortunately, your 8 VMs won't work — you know why.

That's great! While you're at it, invite more people to join the network and mine—the more, the better the network becomes.
