From all indications thus far, the hard fork transition has gone smoothly! Thanks to all of you for your timely upgrades and for helping out to alert others of the hard fork. For those of you reading this who are not currently on CasinoCoin 1.1.x, please upgrade as soon as you can.
It's been really interesting to see Kimoto's Gravity Well in action since block #227,000! In the days leading up to the hard fork, the network hashrate was somewhere between 20-40Mh/s since we were stuck at a higher difficulty. Whenever difficulty would drop and CoinWarz would show CasinoCoin as the #1 most profitable coin, flash miners would come in from the multi-pools, and after 720 blocks, the difficulty would shoot right up again. Since KGW kicked in, difficulty adjustment has occurred after every block (you can see this on the block explorer:
http://explorer.casinoco.in/chain/CasinoCoin), and as the network hashrate increases/decreases, the difficulty adjusts automatically to ensure a block is found ~30 seconds, as the original protocol specifications for CasinoCoin was intended. This is a major plus for miners and the mining stability of CasinoCoin! With mining stability in place, we're now seeing a network hashrate of
~200 Mh/s even when CSC isn't in the #1 spot on CoinWarz, and hopefully this rate continues to sustain. For anyone interested to see these real-time network stats, you can view them on the CasinoCoin homepage at
http://casinoco.inNow that we have addressed mining stability, we as a community can focus on the next task at hand, and I'd like to hear what you would like to see our focus on next.
