Stupid nearly offworld disruptive network I'm on right now probably.
Well I'm still mining tag at least lol. But I am trying out that new 42coin..

This is probably just my luck, but, I can't sync my wallet anymore. Others are working fine. It worked yesterday but not as of this morning. I tried addnoding tagmining but that isn't helping either.
"blocks" : 29070,
"difficulty" : 178.79404054,
hehehe... dang, I thought I saw it as low as 28 just a few hours ago.
I think it's relatively easy to identify the PoS blocks on the explorer. You just check the block hash, and if it does not have a bunch of zeroes at the beginning, then it is a PoS mined block.
The PoW blocks have a bunch of zeroes.

My "huge security hole" comment was mostly in reference to a previous comment you made about preference to the highest blockchain, and noticing a block mined and orphaned on Botpool show us on the explorer as a diff 0.006 block.
We had a look at it and we will add a couple of changes in the next fix, along with the change in percentage for PoS (which is set at .015% instead of 1.5%).
The coins generated at .006 diff are the PoS coins that are mined by the clients, not by PoW...so right now there are 2 diffs shown, depending on what was mined. That's how hybrids work.
@Morning-Star - can you define "huge security hole" in more detail rather than throwing it out there. And please be technical about it so we all understand...
As for changing difficulty algo, no, we will leave it as it is, for various reasons.
I would like to remain diplomatic, but please will people making comments on TAG, understand what they are talking about before they throw out "solutions"...

Fork again. Tagmining, Hashfaster, and Botpool are on same block ahead of the explorer and Cryptopools.
Unless Tagmining falls behind the explorer, we will be operation with business as usual. However, we have had another 6 orphans in a row for the last hour.
Mark, I seriously think this needs to be investigated by your developer staff. I'm not sure if it would help, but perhaps you should really consider changing the difficulty re-target to every 10-20 blocks. This would be a fast re-target time(every few hours) and would not only help even out the difficulty swings, but would help stabilize miners' payouts over time. Yes it would mean that multipools would hammer TAG longer, but when they stop mining TAG we would have an equally long period of low difficulty.
Vesper had mentioned graphing out some comparisons on re-target times. Not sure if he has preliminary data yet, but it would be worth investigating.

TAG seems to be sorting itself out but I will try to spread the message to spread the hash power. If it means creating a few pools as joint ventures with others then I can do that as well. I cannot demand that Botpool, or any pool for that matter, refuse new miners..:-) I can only ask them to throttle back...
As for which chain anyone should be on, I suggest going with the block explorer at explorer.tagcoin.org, which should always have the highest block...

Tell me about it lol

Haha, glad I could make that smiley happen.
hey devs - please have a look after that scamming pool: http://tag.botpool.net/
yesterday i saw many orphaned blocks at my account after ich saw them 15 mins. before confirmed...
though in the last days i have seen always orphaned blocks at that pool - but TAG has no standard-15-seconds-block-time with many orphans
hey miners at that botpool have a look at your stats!
i have chosen for now the TAG-PPS-pool http://tag.cryptopools.com
pay per share - thats good!
i will never mine again with that stinky botpool!

Have you read the last couple of pages here? There have been two forks with orphans everywhere. Botpools high hashrate may or may not be the cause of the issue but the orphans are not just a problem on Botpool. Yes right now the percentages are very high on Botpool, but other pools have had bad runs too.
sorry, so i have to offer an excuse for my lack of the TAG-fork-informations and the orphans around this

As of right now, 15 of 53 are orphans, 1 in the last hour. That's almost a third. That's indicative of an ongoing issue with the chain(s). While it may be sorting itself out over time, if there were any more catalysts introduced I'm concerned it would get far worse. My uneducated opinion believes there needs to be some smoothing out to handle the waves of hash.
