What does it mean when the blocks skip in my miner output? for example it will show:
1376831
1376833
Where did 1376832 go?
- pokeytex
One explanation can be that the solution of ..833 came right after ..832 and the pool or the miner wasn't fast enough to send or receive the notification packet for the new block. This can also happen when the wallet of the pool lags because time to time it's attacked by some nice peoples. In this case the wallet is so overloaded that it doesn't receives in time the new block notification from other nodes.
@mumus - thank you for the explanation. I forgot to mention I am solo mining. So is it safe to assume that the wallet is still operating fine when it is always skipping blocks or should it be restarted?
