LGC is currently being easymined or hacked by some kind of share/difficulty exploit.

Earlier, while solo mining, I watched the difficulty plummet from 70-80 down to 4. Whats really freaky is how the difficulty continued to decrease, despite the fact that the instamine was well under way. This screenie was taken just before it dipped to 4.

6 blocks minted in only 14 seconds ! Shocked



The share exploit doesn't affect the entire network. I'm almost certain its a large pool or farm.  The reason that we got 6 blocks in 14 seconds is because before those 6 blocks we hadn't found one in a quite a few minutes so DGW kicks in and averages it out so that it hits the 1 block per 60 seconds.

diff should be around 5 for our true network hash > Large pool or farm jumps on network and finds blocks in quick succession > Diff hits 70-80 > Pool or farm stops mining > Because diff is so high and hashrate is now low it takes a while to find a block > Once block is found DGW kicks in and diff drops sharply > We find more blocks in quick succession so that the network averages out to its 60 second block time.

I can probably deal with a multipool with the upcomming fork if thats what it actually is.
