Hi Guys

The blockchain is still not sorted. We are working on it.

Greg, I am sure prohashing pool is causing this trouble. It's a profit switching pool. When it detects a low hashrate and/or higher exchange rate, it switches to that coin, mines with very high hashrate and leaves the diff high. This is happening with another coin too.
It took me 6 hours to lower the diff of that coin and within minutes they popped in and raised the diff.

Hi

You may be right. I'm not sure. I have two miners here working now so hopefully it will free up soon.
It seems they mined at a high hashrate and stopped. This caused the jam. I have a low hash rate and am
finding it hard to find a block. How did you lower the diff ?

Hi.
I did exactly what you are doing now. I was mining with some small miners too. As soon as I hit 1-2 blocks and I lowered the diff, prohashing entered and raised the diff again so I quit.
I think there are 3 options.

1. talk to them to exclude gcn from their switching policy
2. ban them from the network. 
3. wait to see if gcn/doge rate drops so it won't be profitable for them to switch to gcn mining.

Hi

Thanks for that.

I have two miners working at the moment.
I sold some GCoin to reduce the price
I will keep taking action.
I will contact prohashing. Their equipment is far superior to anything I have access to.

Hi Doremi,

Thanks for that.
more to think about.

[bitkokos2]

yes, a 5-10% PoS is another good option.

[doremi]

yes, a 5-10% PoS is another good option.

that is way too high if 5-10%..imo 1% or less than 1% would be better

[bitkokos2]

1% imo is not an incentive for staking unless the coin has very high value.
Also a higher % will attract more users. Otherwise if there are few users the blocks will not move fast and we will end up having difficulties again.

high inflation will always bad no matter it is fiat or cryptocurreny..this have been proof endless times in the history.

BTCD has 5% and is just doing fine.

[doremi]

BTCD has 5% and is just doing fine.

can you show me the link of btcd coin's information which state that it is 5% with POS?

and btw..sorry to say that i don`t think btcd is doing fine

I am one of the first people who mined BTCD years ago. After some days it changed to POS.
I still have it and I still receive 5% PoS.
Not only that but for a year it was giving extra dividents to those having their wallets open for staking.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoindark-strengthening-mission-critical-altcoins/

Currently it is changing into komodo coin KMD

Iguana Project which is under development by BTCD / KMD core developer even drew the attention of Bitcoin team and yes it does very well.

Sorry, I don't like discussing BTCD in a GCN thread. If you have any questions feel free to discuss them in BTCD thread or KMD.

Thanks bitkokos2

I've been on to them.
I'm going to try some different miners today to
to see if I can free up the blockchain toady.
The difficulty seems very high ok.

[bitkokos2]

Which pool are you using. I would like to help for some time with my 3 small miners. I guess it's better to try the same pool.
By the way are you trying to resync pool http://217.115.116.95 ?
I see the blocks restarting from 0 since yesterday.

Hi bitkokos2

Thanks, that would be very helpful

I'm just working on the two pools here now.

I'm solo mining myself for the moment.
