BOTpool is now the same the same as TAG, IT and HASH... and the Explorer on 27573 as well...

All pools and explorer are on 27574 at the moment with matching matching difficulty of 70.

Have look at the orphans on all the pools... BOT got hammered... even Scryptmining had an orphan... the only reason IT has no orphans is because there is only 5Mh/s there at the moment.

Fuse... here is the orphan problem exposed.

EDIT - Both times I have seen this... it started with BOT getting hit with literally double hash-rate... 2500Mh/s and 1900Mh/s... the only reason I picked it up either time is because I have miners spread across several pools and notice that 'current block' and 'difficulty' does not match... and each time BOT was holding massive hash-rate, then lagged out and then taken off-line and restarted. Last time BOT was offline for quite a while and TAG was the fail over as the hash-rate doubled quickly... but each time the difficulty drops dramatically and there are lots of orphans.

If this is in fact a difficulty issue, maybe the devs need to rethink the way the difficulty adjusts. Instead of having a retarget every block, maybe set it to 10-20 blocks or even higher. IDK. It just seems like there are a lot of issues lately with the increased hashrate. I just want to go to sleep and wake up knowing things aren't going to explode when I'm asleep. Damn sleep messing everything up lol.

The Block Explorer just reset to 27536?!?!?!

Now to 27572!!!!

OK what's the deal with that? Last time Tagmining was on the same fork as the block explorer and stayed safe. This time Botpool was on the same fork as the block explorer, but this time the explorer gets reset, and Botpool lost out both times. Sad

Is there a preference for what happens based on what any or all of the exchanges are on or something?

I think someone reset the block explorer, and it just synced with the majority of the pools that we on the higher block height. If there was a preference to what pools or exchanges it follows, that would be a huge loophole that everyone would be bidding on to be "the one". I would sell my wife for it just so I didn't have to worry that when go to sleep the pool is going to follow the wrong fork. That's nerve-wracking.

Yeah I'm probably just reading too much into it all.
