The wallet does not synchronize for 24 hours, payments hang
What is a decentralized currency, if all work depends on one miner?
Think about it!
One miner? Not the case. Several pools can be up to 400-500 miners at one time total, but when 400+ jump out to maximize profit? LONG TTF on hard blocks. No new block = no transactions = no confirmations = no mining rewards = no MN rewards, etc.
SEVERAL pools, but the hundreds of miners on the x11 multipool at granatgas is maximizing their profit on EASY blocks and when the difficulty gets over a certain threshhold (3000?), they autoswitch to another coin, leaving the remaining DAS miners on other pools to work the hard block with lower hashrate. Before hexpool went down, we had a consistent hashrate of about 75-85 GH/s. Now it varies from 5 GH/s to 75 GH/s, with granatgas controlling the hashrate and holding DAS ransom basically.
This is what DGW was meant to prevent, but as mining tech improves, the algos on cryptos ALSO needs to diversify. Having a multi-algo crypto protects an altcoin from the x11 ASIC autoswitching multipools.
WE NEED MINERS ON
http://mining.topcoins.biz/ and
http://sopool.us/ ASAP. And find a pool(s) of altcoin miners who are willing to mine DAS cinsistently to make it profitable. Losing hexpool to the yiimp hack was a HUGE blow to DAS while granatgas was milking easy blocks in the background.
DEV NEEDS to find a solution with granatgas-pool. Either do something to have them STOP mining DAS (payment?), blacklist them somehow, change difficulty algo to react to major hashrate spikes/extremely fast TTF, dump DAS to manipulate price lower to make unprofitable for granatgas-pool until fixed/resolved, or change to a multi-algo after a certain block with a major core update? Otherwise DAS will be held hostage, like every other small altcoin at some point or another, by huge hashrate single algo autoswitching multipools who care nothing about the coins they mine, just the BTC profitability vs mining costs regardless of the consequences. Pure greed at any cost. Period. And that is one of the major downsides and potential killers of crypto, esp altcoins, in general.
DEV? The ball is in your court. Time to earn your premine!
