The time retarget is finally going down :)
Time to Retarget 3 day(s), 10 hour(s), 47 min, 46 secBlock 32831 is mine :)

No it’s not going down, now it shows 3 day(s), 10 hour(s), 50 min, 53 sec
[/quote]It did show higher than that before. I am getting the stats page to be adjusted for a smaller selection of blocks to more accurately show time per block and time to retarget.
-
It’s gonna be another week.
Just sit back. Every coin is getting burned. LTC just went down in difficulty.
-
Nicked an old card from a friend for the weekend - an extra 70k Hash/s for the push.
Think this will blow over after the alt coin a day craze is over. Currently Worldcoin is eating up a lot of hashes but will drop soon.
-
Weirdness: Network hashrate down. give-me-ftc.com hashrate multiplying. Very interesting.
-
The stats page has now been updated to get the block time and retarget time from the last 120 blocks so not always the last retarget. If the retarget is less than 120 block before the current block, then it will count back to the retarget.
Expected Time per Block 0 day(s), 1 hour(s), 7 min, 41 sec
Time to Retarget 7 day(s), 8 hour(s), 0 min, 42 sec -
Thx, Bushstar. It’s important to have an idea when the coin will settle. WorldCoin is trying to offer a technological solution to a management problem. We don’t need 15 second confirmations. Most people wait longer to have the automated self-check out compute a total. It’s a really thin band-aid.
Also for those who argued for us to stay on with the old algorithm:
It is now 152 blocks before retarget @33000. This is going to take 7 days.
It is now 1524 blocks before the original retarget. That comes to 70 days.
There has been a regular decline in hashrate. 7 days could extend to 10, 70 to 100.Let’s learn from this experience. Worrying about hypothetical issues about versions persisting too long and telling people to just believe in the coin was too rhetorical and did not take into account the facts: THE MATH. We should make a graph of the hashrate drop and draw some measurable conclusions about confidence and tension in how the coin was perceived.
It appears I was right on the money with serraz’s pool. Even though hashrates have gone down, his ftc pool approaches 25% capacity much like his ltc pool. These miners stick around. We’ll see what coinotron miners do to the hashrate.

zerodrama brings a good point, what is the ‘taboo’ of updating the client software frequently? ie what is the down side to making frequent changes? many softwares have optional automatic updates, is there any non-technical reasons why crypto-wallets don’t write their installers to offer this?
-
Hi Bush, when your back please update Pools running Feathercoin 0.6.4 and include wemineftc.com, Cheers
-
With cryptocoins and 51% it really is about making a conscious choice. Which is why Bitcoin did not force the update. Otherwise they would look like central bank.

KenDog77 has now added 11Mh to the fc.dontmine.me pool. I am currently chasing an even larger miner to move things along. Anything I can do to speed this up I will, I’m taking the pro-active approach. Once we are past this block our difficulty adjust should suit us well.

[/quote]Good news.
Btw, what happenned to that dog-not-botnet (or something like that). I remember my eyes almost popped out when saw that hash appear on my pool.

[/quote]Good spot. I’m chasing the pool owner to see if we can get any contact with this miner.

[/quote]I’m concerned because as of today, it STILL says 7 days, 8 hours.

It went to 7 days and 2 hours last night. It’s SUNDAY. Monday will be another story.

[/quote]just a shame that the pool have dropped from 207mhash to 183 within 24 hours.
im becomming a bit concerned that the 33000 block target where to high.unless someone are able to convince one of thoose megahashers or have enough ftc to buy power this currency might die. even though it has an awesome society

[/quote]I have to disagree. FTC has such a deep infrastructure being put in place, this is the absolute beginning. We’ll get through this hump and keep pressing forward.

[/quote] With justabitoftime and bushstar nothing will die here ;) and of course all the other members too! -
I still think its a temporary situtaion generated by everybody jumping on Worldcoin. In a couple of days it will either be added on an exchange, where people will dump and price plummet or it won’t in which case price will go down too. Eitherway a lot od hashes will go back to doing other struff; mostly LTC. A few will be back to FTC especially for those owners who have decent stock of FTC.
For miners its difficult to resist making easy money by mining WDC instead of FTC.
