Is something up with IOC? Seems we are on an unexpectedly long block.
EDIT: pool hashrate on IOC seems to be dropping steadily as well. At least according to the website.
A lot of people have had rentals on it, just seem to be expiring at the same time as it hit Bittrex and difficulty has been going up so our block finding is down as a result.
Did the difficulty go through the roof or something? It just doesn't seem right that I was making more than 50 of these a day up until 5.5 hours ago and now if we ever crack another block I will only get 2.3 coins.
Difficulty has gone up by between 30-300%, depending on the block, but that is definitely a long stretch. I just did a short rental of 10Gh of NiceHash for about 30 minutes, and we've now gotten 3 blocks in that time.
I just recompiled the wallet with a higher max outbound connections, which may help. There's been one pool that has had the majority of the nethashrate on average and I suspect we may not be seeing their blocks fast enough from wallet peers. Blocks are going by very quickly with the PoW+PoS stage the coin is in currently.
