Quite a few people have posted now saying that they seem to find blocks in quick succession. I've noticed the same thing, but even to the point where different VPS's (same provider) have all found blocks within a minute of each other but nothing for hours either side. In the last 4 hours I found 9 blocks all at the same time across 6 VPS's (around 30 mins ago), and then nothing for the 3 hours before that. I have seen the same kind of patterns over the last few days too (though no normally 9 at the same time!). Has anyone got any theories as to why this might be?

I have seen exactly this

once one block was found, on one instance....then a whole load more were found quickly by that isnatnce

another that found none never found any

I think findinf say 12 blocks with one instance an zero with an identical instance is very unlikely.....

somethings going on...

I have a few theories
and one is really out there....

I get this too. All arrive at once. Go on then, tell us...

Define "at once"?

I have a node that found 3 blocks with 1 hour in between blocks yesterday, then nothing. So 3 blocks in 2 hours. Or are you blocks like seconds/minutes apart?

Well I'm using dumprikey / importprivkey to move immature blocks to my main wallet and then looking at the time that shows in the transaction list...

These were all dumped/imported just before 1pm UK time

Which version of primecoind are you using?
