Ok, since I'm newish to bitparking maybe someone can put me at ease a little.

Right now we are at 6 days on the current block with round cdf at 92.53%. What is the longest a block has run on bitparking, and is there a time limit that it will say hey this isn't working let's start over?

Still working on the app, emailed the admin about the json data, so hopefully that should be in beta soon.

If there is any android developers that has made an app that parses bitparking and is willing to share their source let me know. The json format that bitparking spits out is a little odd, it's valid but the apple json decoder doesn't like it so much.

There is no 'starting over' when it comes to mining. Every hash has the same chance to solve a block. This block does indeed massively suck... but it'll be solved sooner or later. In the long run, it'll all average out.

Looking at the DGM payments in total for each block, there are still a few that paid out more (29-30 BTCs for the block) whereas we're only at 28-29 BTCs for this block, so it's not the longest yet for the past month or so.  Another day or two before we set a "new" record.

Except it is the longest block? That 30 BTC block you were referring to took 132:53:32 to solve. This has taken longer.

Adjusting for difficulty, the other block was "worse."  Keep in mind the price of bitcoin was a fraction of what it is now... taking that into account, too?
