FYI: If have been digging into CGA code a bit more, and if my tests are successful today, I plan to release code that will allow predicting and forcing anomalies on CGA.
It will look like this:
- An odd # block is found. The script can immediately tell you if the next block is an anomaly or not.
- An even # block is found. The script can immediately tell you what nTime values to use to GUARANTEE the next block is an anomaly.

Even if you were able to do so, you couldn't predict if you generate the anomaly or if someone else does. That is mining crypto currency... Everyone is competing for the same block at any given time. As soon as you put more hash power into CGA the longer you have to wait unitl you can find that "right moment" to jump into the network. I can see you raising your probability, but actually generating an anomaly EVERY TIME you jump into the network will not happen even if you have +50% of the network hashing power, that would make your odds 1/2 (a coin toss). So while you may of figured out a way to save your mining rigs from mining the 0 blocks, It doesn't mean that you will get an anomaly every time... And if everyone had the script you speak of then your script would go haywire as soon as everyone "jumps" at the same time.
so what you are saying is that if everyone simply uses that scrypt this coin will work as predicted?
why not implement that scrypt in the pools then?
What would happen is that the difficulty would go crazy. Every time the net hash rate would drop to almost 0 and then sky rocket every 3rd block. I have no idea how KGW would react to such a thing.
Whats the worse? We get some insane diff? It would make the coin even more elusive then. Like master ninja elusive.
also how long does it take to find a block? like is there not a way to force miners to at least mine so many hours days before they get their return, to stop this from happening?
That is what difficulty is for. You set the "ideal" time you want the blocks to be solved (CGA is 40 sec) then if a block is solved faster (say 20sec) then the difficulty will go up. If it takes longer to solve a block then 40 sec (say 120 sec) then the difficulty goes down. KGW "smooths" out the fluctuations by averaging the time it took for multiple blocks.
so can you not restrict connections to pools that don't allow for that? Is there no a way to restrict multipools for connecting? Or at least force them to mine for a certain period before a payout.
I am sure I read somewhere that some pools you only get your full expected return after 2 weeks of mining there?
Just trying to help for obvious reasons
