When is this going to hit so I can inform my PIM (Partner in Mining).

He is at his house sound asleep, and will awaken very PISSED OFF because he has 6MH/s running at Hashing.at, and is currently #1 in hashing power on the server.

He has quite the stake, and will need some sort of clear-cut explanation.

Besides, your pool has 16 confirmations left to clear block 767... and pay-out.

No action is necessary from him at the moment.

As if I do this he will just start mining on the new chain automatically.

Yeah is 16 from 30 though

Rolling it back about 5 or so blocks to 775 for the fix would be a better idea than cutting out 55 more blocks than necessary. The difficulty only jumped during the last several blocks.

block 767 was solved on your pool... which I have a 1,208.2 pi stake in...

If we were to do this... would I lose all of that? Will I be able to earn it back quickly?

To answer your question, yes. Sadly, the blockchain explorer isn't working so I couldn't tell exactly when the diff went crazy, so I just went back 60 blocks, which will orphan 767 if the chain from my code is accepted by the network.

I don't know how long it'll take you to earn it back, but a lot less than it'll take to mine the main chain at those difficulties I'll bet!

There should be a re-launch

Well, IMO that's not really fair on miners who mined blocks 1-720. I rolled back as little as possible under the circumstances. Of course, it's a consensus thing, and if people want a relaunch, all they have to do is not mine either chain.

I had 1006 unconfirmed pi on my account, and it is all of a sudden missing.

This fix looks good to me. So few blocks have been mined since 720, that I think pulling this chain now would be a good idea. Diff is broken at the moment - the longer it's left this way, the more people will lose out. Best to nip it in the bud now and get KGW running.

Well, I kept as much of the chain as I thought sane under the circumstances (not much time or people will stop mining and the coin will die) - I couldn't tell accurately how late I could cut the chain, since the published block explorer isn't working. Hopefully I minimized coin loss as much as possible, as anything mined up until block 719 will be valid on the new fork.

https://pi.crunchhharder.net is gradually catching up with the broken blockchain, but we need two things if this chain is to be adopted:

1. Enough hashrate at CrunchHarder to orphan the 60 blocks that led to the broken sky-high difficulty.

2. Other pools to build and deploy the wallet from https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/projectpiCoin

That doesn't mean it has been labeled OFFICIALLY yet.

If you want to do that, then your pool needs to be updated.

Currently it shows:

Code:

PPLNS Target 	4000000
 
Round Shares [Submitted shares since last found block (ie. round shares)]
Est. Shares 	7,057,975 (done: 0.21%)
Pool Valid 	14,498
Your Valid 	0
Pool Invalid 	0 (0.00%)
Your Invalid 	0 (0.00%)
 
PI Estimates
Block 	0.00000000
Fees 	0.00000000
Donation 	0.00000000
Payout 	0.00000000
 
Network Info
Difficulty 	1,723.13839023
Est Next Difficulty 	349.97954140 (Change in 10 Blocks)
Est. Avg. Time per Block 	25 minutes 45 seconds
Current Block 	780

I've built the new daemon but the problem is ... there's currently around 70 MH/s at my pool (http://pi.hashing.at/) and I can't just switch people over without some sort of agreement.

However if we don't switch ... I don't see this coin getting fixed by the dev anytime soon ... and mining at 1700 difficulty is ...

Well I understand that, and I respect that integrity from a pool owner - it's not exactly the rule. However, if you don't switch people, you are wasting their hashes. It's not clear either way.

BTW Windows wallet on the way, had to make a tiny few other typo fixes (not functional/blockchain related) to get it building, think it'll be OK this time. Will send another pull request once I have it building.

You should be aware though we are on an "unofficial" blockchain (not that anything can truly be official in a decentralized cryptocurrency), so it's possible, if enough people didn't want to mine this chain, it might not be the accepted one and the coins might be orphaned (lost) - hopefully though, the devs accept my fixes.

I have

a. rolled the blockchain back to a time when there was sane diff (as close as I could guess without a working block explorer, so as to minimise coin loss - I went to block 720, so back 60 blocks or so)

b. fixed the timewarp exploit recently found in KGW

Windows wallet building now, but need a little while to test. Coming very soon.

https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/projectpiCoin - I unstuck the blockchain and rolled it back to block 720 where KGW kicks in. Obviously, anyone is welcome to not mine this chain, but it's better than a stuck one and I didn't want to waste my time setting up a pool then not have a blockchain!!!

We're hashing this (unstuck) chain now at https://pi.crunchharder.net

Devs - pull request in your inbox!

Windows wallet coming in a minute...
