People are probably block robbing on their optimized clients. Someone has got to release an optimized binary.
Yeah no friggin kidding. 40 hours at 79 PPS average and nothing. Seriously. I've asked 10 people so far to help me learn how to compile code to add my own personal flags... I'm not asking for answers, just the method to adjust some variables.
This is just as bad as instamining in my opinion. Pretty obvious by now that a 'select few' people are robbing this coin blind before most people can even find blocks. Same shit as as instamined crapcoins launched at 5 am pacific with botnets ready to go. Not sure if 100% intended by OP but releasing a coin that 'most people' take several days to even figure out how to mine is pretty damn weak.
Moving on.
Man...people are such entitled, whiny, little bitches. Do you not fucking understand variance? I am running a laptop with an i5, figured out how to edit in the optimizations and compile my first executable ever, left it running overnight, and have found three blocks already, one about twenty minutes ago. Not bad for two hours of work. Sounds like you're lazy or simple. Either way, I have no sympathy. You are experiencing probability and variance, not some grand kabbalah of more efficient miners stealing your profit.
BTW, I was reading somewhere that for the network to increase in difficulty from 7 to 7.2 would require a doubling of the computing power? Anyone know the veracity of this? If so, does that mean the computational power has roughly cubed since launch? Might explain some of this tinfoil hat block-poaching conspiracy theory garbage.
