Topic: [ANN][CACH] CACHeCoin released based on scrypt-jane - page 81. (Read 224425 times)

Poloniex is a bit concerning these past few days..

Nothings wrong per se.

I was just curious how long it will take difficulty to actually reflect the current hashrate?

For example Feb 13 estimated hashrate was around 65MH/s and difficulty was 10.11 with 17 coins/block. (http://stats.cachecoin.org/charts.)

Today estimated hashrate from getmininginfo is 66MH and a difficulty of 53 with 12.8 coins/block

The difficulty has been dropping 10-12 per day since 500MH/s has dropped from the network.

Block time seems to be around 14.9 minutes in the past 16 hours so that aspect seems correct.

All is well regarding the protocol and network however, the people still mining the coin are "holding the bag" to solve blocks while difficulty adjusts back down for several days to a week. You are basically mining at ~75% the efficiency or less you were prior to the hashrate spike.

Am I incorrect with this data?

If we continually see huge increases in hash once things settle back down I feel like it hurts the long term viability of the coin somewhat.

Take this as an example. There was obviously a huge pump of the coin in terms of hash and difficulty the last few days. There is now around 1 week of less efficient or less profitable mining to be done before we're back to "normal". IF there is another huge pump what is the incentive to stick it out if the coin can be "easily" manipulated with profitability ebbing and flowing.

Isn't the purpose of this coins difficulty calculations to make mining as evenly profitable and fair at all times?

Should the difficulty deltas be adjusted slightly so the difficulty is more responsive to huge spikes in hashrate as well as huge drops hence making it more resilient to pump and dump miners?

How many prior blocks are referenced with calculating next difficulty? Or is there a cap on the net change in difficulty per block if it is recalculated every block.

Is there anywhere more information is available regarding block reward and difficulty adjustments for this coin?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer.

I'm not trying to bash the coin, I just want to understand how it works under the hood a bit better.

what wrong? mining goes on, confirmations take less than the targeted 15 minutes...... All is well as for as the protocol is concerned

Since there are only 4 a day, I'd call that a success

XD

By the way, I'm diggin your p2pool node friend. Just switched to it from a regular pool, the stats are so much better and I love that its straight to my wallet .

Are we looking at another 5-6 days before difficulty drops to a better proportion with hashrate?

That hashrate spike really screws with the difficulty.

My CACHe wallet has stopped working.  I'm running the most recent version (5.0.0).

Symptoms: It syncs up to a point and then stops.  It seems to sync up to ~1 block left, then goes to ~257 blocks left, and sits there doing nothing.

Steps taken so far: I've tried deleting the database folder, .lock file, blk*.dat files, and peers.dat   
That seems to work at first, but then the same end result happens.

There are many orphaned blocks in my debug file.

Any advice?
