So what do we do Fuse? Stop mining until it is sorted out or mine harder to be on the winning fork?
The fate of the world...
I'm not sure. Can we verify what pools are on what chain right now.
I know Tagmining, Hashfaster, Cryptopools.com, and Cryptopool.it are all on the same block, but ahead of Botpool and the block explorer.
Botpool should be processing blocks faster than us, but they're not. Not sure what the answer is at this point.

Anyone in at Marks office? This is a serious issue.
There was a dev from the office that popped into this thread the last time we forked. Might be the best choice if Mark is still in the air or away from the interwebs.
I wish I had direct contact info.
I would say we are forked or at least running different block chains... the difficulty difference is too great... and the hash-rate is pretty much balanced... so there are two blockchains... this happened yesterday... not sure why Mark did not take some precautionary measures... is the block explorer the standard?
Mark was going on the block explorer yesterday... so I would bank on that, but if we have to race to another block, the other pools might prevail.
Hmm, timing is suspicious. Mark is away and publicised the fact, it's late Sunday in the Philippines and there would be no one in the office. Is BCX playing around with us again?
I wouldn't think it's anything nefarious, just really bad timing. I don't think BCX would have anything to do with this. I think this is something that all started with the orphan issues I brought up last week.
