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.

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
[/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.

We’re never going to convince those that will coin hop for the quick new alt coin. We need to be creative, we need to pave our own way. I look forward to hitting the gaming market heavy for your help.

I look forward to hitting the gaming market heavy for your help.[/quote]FTC became victim of its own success. I respect your dedication but i don’t understand why you are not looking at some obvious problems. You’ll have to convince current miners to _stay_ and mine FTC for a few more days (a constantly growing number of days by the way). The network is currently 179,993 KHash/s and slowing, the time to retarget is growing again despite the corrections to the calculation. Estimate was 7 days 10 hours yesterday, it’s 7 days 5 hours now, which is obviously a bad sign. The original 22nd of May retarget plan is nowhere. My client has been out of sync for hours now, I am not sure i could even send a transaction.

I’ve started a bounty to get things moving along. Tell all the people :)

why is it that the difficulty is stating 110.22563508986 on the next jump ?

Starting from the fork and v0.6.4 the max diff adjust is 41.4%. You do the math ;D :P -
still a small jump :)

188 -> 110, then probably will go down to 64 which will be hopefully faster, then later depending on the network it can go even lower. I think it will be big enough jump and from now difficulty will adjust in several smaller steps not big jumps - which caused the current situation. -

Well, Bushy’s bounty has really got things moving, the blocks are coming much quicker now. It was definitely the right decision to fork at 33k, we now have some seriously good publicity building up even before the fork.
Good call.

[/quote]Agreed, I can’t believe the difference it’s made - and how rapidly! The future is looking a whole lot less uncertain.
