Is there a issue with the network, we seem to be stalled at 116501, i notice the pool thinks it has found 116502 however all my peers are still reporting 116501. Anyone else seeing anything different?
Thanks
I am seeing this

I found 116502, and now the network start working again. The correct 116502 block is here
http://bitcredits.pw:8776/static/I'm not sure, but seems that the problem is on this pool ...
http://crypto.office-on-the.net:8776/static/ It's not a problem, it's orphan.
The problem is created by node:
http://bitcredits.pw:8776/static/This node has no peers, probably it was specially configured to work autonomously.
Node peers: 0 / 0
http://bitcredits.pw:8776/peer_addresses = ""
So how other pools connected to p2p network and their speed is faster, they get the most of blocks.
If you are an owner of this node, please connect to others.
Stop the pool, delete .../p2pool-bcr/data directory (with all content), delete *.pyc files and change next parameters in file .../p2pool-bcr/p2pool/networks/bitcredit.py:
IDENTIFIER = 'b1dc7ed1dc11e0d1'.decode('hex')
PREFIX = 'ba0c05e7ad100301'.decode('hex')
BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS = '198.52.160.59:54003 198.52.160.60:8777 82.200.205.30:8777'.split(' ')
/* See the source code on GitHub:

By doing so you will strengthen the p2p network and reduce the number of orphans.
Hey thanks for clearing that up. I have no idea who owns that pool; but I do have a question if you don't mind. How did that orphan manage to stall the entire network for so many hours?
Thanks,
First of all, I do not intend to start an argue on this manner.
Second, sawa, the problem start from your pool. Why? I will try to explain in a few words after.
Third, my pool was not the problem, I started the pool when I saw that the network stopped.
Pre:
Now, there are only two possibilities to mine Bitcredits. First, using the wallet, second, using the NaN clpts miner v2.1 or pts-getwork (3 times slower), with p2pool fork made by bitcreditscc.
There is no solominer available, or other type of pools that can sustain the network.
Synopsis:
On sawa pool, was found aprox. 30-40 "orphan" blocks.
My first guess was that you don't update the wallet to last version that enforce the BN payments.
Second guess, is that was a problem in communication with other 2 p2pools (bcrp2pool.website and p2pool.website) because on the list of "found" blocks, only on your pool was a long list of 116502 orphan blocks found and not on the other 2.
Third guess, it's a problem on p2pool code and/or wallet code, that when a block is rejected by the wallet (see the first quote, "Invalid Chain Found") the p2pool see this as "Orphan", and this is wrong. An "orphan" block it is one that is found and accepted by the wallet, but not by the network because someone, a little bit faster, submitted a valid block. So p2pool try to request work and find 116503, even that 116502 it's not found, it's not orphan but was rejected.
ToDo:
Sawa, check to see if you are running the last version of the wallet.
Bitcreditscc, check to see, if you have time, why the p2pool report the block even if it's "Invalid Chain Found" by the wallet.
Sawa, I know very well how to configure the p2pool. The reasons that you exposed are valid in a stable and muti-mining possibilities, but not on the current state of the coin.
Putting my p2pool on the network with other p2pools will not strengthen the network, but will weaken the network, because there are no other viable options to mine.
Because of the reasons that I wrote up, I will maintain my p2pool of the network and I'm sure that this is a good decision.
And to close, when you say that the "problem" was created by my p2pool, write and the reasons. Otherwise, everything is only a "story". I like some technical "why's", not a technical howto add a p2pool on the network with other p2pools.
Thanks !
