Topic: 6 blocks in 4 minutes - page 2. (Read 1486 times)
Interestingly 6 sequential blocks in 4 minutes is fast enough that it would surely lead to propagation issues, whereby on the other side of the world there were invalid blocks created and subsequently discarded. Does anyone know on average how long it takes for a new block to propagate completely through the network? ie how many seconds/minutes does the last node waste on solving a block that has already been created?
mean time for blocks is 10 minutes and it its proven that it is real, but that means that things like that may happen
and then none for almost an hour:

Getting six blocks in four minutes was as inevitable as getting six blocks in an hour. Repeat the process of tossing a coin six times and eventually you will inevitably get six heads in a row. Generally the results of random events cluster near an average, but occasionally what seems to be an extremely unlikely sequence will inevitably happen. The Bitcoin protocol has seen this phenomenon frequently reoccur and will continue to do so unless the protocol is changed.
There's nothing unusual here, if the blocks were evenly spaced out then it wouldn't be random...

in this case i see it as oscillations of the average, with the aim to maintain the equilibrium in the long term, between positive and negative
Oh my god something fishy happened. Quick, everyone, sell sell sell! Something weird happened, spread the nws and get out while you still can!!!
