Of course they aren't, because they're all on an IRC channel sharing with each other totally differerent chains.  We're talking chains that are nearly 1000 blocks different size-wise.
Why can't we turn off all the eliesus nodes? if you turned off your three nodes (that you said aren't even running the daemon anyways) and we turned off the IRC channel, nobody would know how to talk to anybody else.  Then start by announcing nodes that are on the correct chain, to connect to via addnodes.
The IRC functionality is just asking for a fork.  and yes, there is also a #huntercoin02

otherwise just release an emergency version update and modify the IRC channel to use a different one, then make sure that you have only got the correct fork daemons on that channel when poeople start to join it.

it's not a proper fix.. and hoping people don't just add eligius chain to the new irc channel is not good.. people will jsut do it out of spite

it needs to be fixed properly

Devs need to check what happened at the blocks at the fork
Devs need to work out why we are not reorging to the longest chain

they will be related.

from the sounds of things, it seems you just want to be on this longest chain.. which i can respect, ..
but, whatever has to be has to be.. i'm not deciding, we will see what the people who can "see" the code think

they want to be at the longest chain because they got a lot of HUC from some bot that destruct in the base i think Tongue


I like to keep my options open. Making HUC on all 3 chains. I hope we don't have too many more forks though. I don't know how many more versions of reality my brain can process. Cheesy

2 chains.. 1 is defunct (no one mining it)
and eligius chain is very slow..

on a side note.. it seems huntercraftmine + domob patch has fixed daemon crash.. (i think) as i have the livemap working (on eligius chain, so that is one extra for eligius.. but there will be many i'm sure.. e.g. people wanting to human mine both chains.. so disabling it isn't going to change anything) http://162.243.175.205:3000/ - i recreated it on another IP a good few hours ago, and upgraded it.

I guess there can be a patch which fixes reorg onto longest chain (or worst case need to be on the shortest chain (eligius))

at the time of first fork (when f2pool brokeaway from eligius), it seems there was annihilation of yellow base (can see on live map), probably hundreds of deaths. maybe some reorg here is what caused fork. although, not sure what happened when f2pools own scrypt and sha256 pools split.

this was the patch that fixed the problem with reorg after all the multiple forks at launch (if anyone can make sense of it):

anyway.. as you know, i'm only guessing Smiley I should have carried on coding instead of playing MMORPGs all them years ago Cheesy

I want to stay on the longest chain because i'm holding the crown there. Smiley)

maybe i could put a good word in -- 50/50 ?  Cheesy
