I am thinking that this orphan issue is just the tip of the iceberg - beyond this we have our extraordinary bad luck for many days now.
I suspect something has changed and this pool is getting locked out of blocks somehow. The orphans may/may not be related.
This is exactly what happened at Slush before I moved here. I'm having a deja vu.
did not want to say this but I did think it.
what is worse is this if this is true it confirms it:
...
Until you spell our name correctly, you won't be able to understand why you always get orphaned. We haven't have any orphans for 7 weeks, or more than 1400 blocks.
Now take a step back and look at this the leader of the largest pool said this.
Forget everything about kano.is
think overall what the claim is : we can crush you or orphan you or waste you ..
I know of a few ways they can do it.
so to everyone here that is renting from NH / WH consider that
f2pool can send dead hashers to WH/NH with ease
f2pool can mine on is own blocks out of proper order. they actually did this and caused a fork.
f2pool claims they can always orphan us see above.
