After adding in a time difference check for python mdc watcher between local and server time, it appears middlecoin JSON data is always outdated by 5+ minutes and only updates roughly once per thirty minutes. Is this in line with others' findings?
Are you sure about the thirty minute finding? Interesting.
I'm not saying this isn't what's happening right now, but I've been collecting data from the JSON every ten minutes and I know I've seen changes happening at about that scale in the recent past.
Here's what I have in the command line buffer:
Time since last JSON update: 49-137 minutes
Time since last JSON update: 6-18 minutes
Time since last JSON update: 9-20 minutes
Time since last JSON update: 9-20 minutes
Time since last JSON update: 9-32 minutes (<- hasn't updated yet)
Will look again later. ETA: guess it's better, now. Looks like it's updating about as fast as it can since ~10-minute-old JSON data comes ~every 10 minutes.
Looking at the home page graph it looks more stair step than usual the last two days.
Each ten minute data point is one pixel wide. If you look back a few days the top edge of the Unexchanged and Hash Rate graphs are kind of fuzzy. The last few days there have been more flat top sections. What we're probably seeing is slower updates to the JSON then "normal". Probably h20 is down in the engine room messing with the equipment. So far he's been able to keep the boat afloat. It can't be easy.
