Things are getting worse on the CSC network Cry

To stabilize the coin i suggest we seriously look into how to block multipools! Currently difficulty will drop from 2.5 to 0.9 in about 250 blocks. Network hashrate is down to 130 MHash and all miners except my own have left my pool. On top of that i currently am hitting an incredible no block found round of almost 900%!! So not finding blocks when difficulty is too high and when the difficulty will adjust in about 250 blocks all multipools will get back on casinocoin bringing in about 75% of all network hashing power which will cause the other pools not to find blocks as well.

This way i am not making any profit on neither miners nor pool. I setup the pool to generate some income to pay for the CSC developments i am working on but currently it only costs me money. If this continues i will be forced to close down https://www.megamineros.com/CSC so if anybody has any suggestions please bring them forward.

How do multipools calculate profitability? I think they probably use gethashespersec on the casinocoind daemon? Various coins have already disabled that. Also i am convinced that if we adjust difficulty more often in will help stabalize the big swings. Any other suggestions on how to block multipools? can they be locked out the network somehow?

For casinocoin to be used as the currency for casinos we need to have stable mining to handle all future CSC transactions as fast as possible. So help solving this issue, it will benefit all CSC miners in the long run!

My assumption is that they use a pretty basic equation of amount of coins you can get per hour vs the average price of the coin on exchanges. Same thing coinwarz does just with automatic switching...
Making the diff adjust more quickly might prevent the later multipools from jumping on if a quicker one has already pushed up the difficulty. It would also help us get it down to a proper level once they leave.
