Fork again. Tagmining, Hashfaster, and Botpool are on same block ahead of the explorer and Cryptopools.

Unless Tagmining falls behind the explorer, we will be operation with business as usual. However, we have had another 6 orphans in a row for the last hour.

Mark, I seriously think this needs to be investigated by your developer staff. I'm not sure if it would help, but perhaps you should really consider changing the difficulty re-target to every 10-20 blocks. This would be a fast re-target time(every few hours) and would not only help even out the difficulty swings, but would help stabilize miners' payouts over time. Yes it would mean that multipools would hammer TAG longer, but when they stop mining TAG we would have an equally long period of low difficulty.

Vesper had mentioned graphing out some comparisons on re-target times. Not sure if he has preliminary data yet, but it would be worth investigating.
