ISSUES WITH BEING STUCK ON BLOCK 197672

we got hit by 45GH

The potcoin network was hit with with a big giant private NETWORK -  20 blocks where found in under 1 min -  the KGW kicked in and they jumped off.

PLS PLS EVERYONE CHECK YOUR VERSIONS AND UPDATE TO THE LATEST PATCHED VERSION WITH KGW.

Potcoin network had to wait the time it would take to solve those blocks  then everything resumed back to normal.

we will be investing who is doing this and the address of the private pool that came and solved those 20 blocks in 1 min.


WE WILL  ISSUE A NEW PATCH IN THE NEXT 1-2 MONTHS FIXING THIS AND ALSO MAKING THE CHANGES FOR HALVING THE BLOCK.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEWS>

It also doesn't make sense because pot hasnt been the most profitable for awhile, so why would an ass ton of miners on a multi just switch?

This appears to be the Potcoin address the coins were mined to. I assume the one the dev means to look in to.
Unfortunately the block explorer won't open the list of transactions  Undecided

Starting with this block (the odd block) you can step through and see after a few blocks to different addresses, every single one gets mined to this address

care2explain?

for now it looks like an attack or a big farm jumping on and the KGW doesnt like that.

fwiw, i noticed that wafflepool had potcoin on their list of coins to mine within the last week, while the price of potcoin had spiked .. not sure if this is related to them mining the coin, but their multipool can be in the 40-45GH range easily

also,

we got hit by 45GH

ok so if wafflepool was on our coin earlier then that means this monster was on it...
asics are here folks, here is what we need to solve really, this problem
http://wafflepool.com/miner/14t8yB3PDGfZT3VppxMY4J9xiBaXUcZvKp
Hash Rate:23.51 GH/s (15min approximated)
=kdc mining potcoin
possibly screwing things up...
might explain problems and difficulty @ 414

dev didn't want to switch earlier but now as hopefully he can see the problem.....
or is it best to have one user having 23.51ghash of network?

So either kdc + waffle or since kdc has other miners but they are harder to find I can't pull stats up for them. It is though that they have the same amount of miners but hidden so they can't be as easily found. So say they make their own pool which may be why their unknown wallet was posted above and most of coins went there and it says "too much to list" or a variation of trans summary.

or/and?
Why on earth would you halve the rewards? Belay that and focus on security. Someone with either epic hashrate (more than all alt's combined) is toying with the coin, or it's someone attacking the network itself.

I am not sure who is doing this but its probably https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504103.0He was set out to destroy aurora and he managed to time warp it initiating the need for a fix. I am assuming since this is the only individual set on this mission from before and successfully doing it, its him again.
