Topic: cgminer "detected new block" and Slush's stats don't match (Read 991 times)
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation
I don't think that the pool found a new block, but rather that the new block showed up on the chain so the hashing has to start on new data for the next block.
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here so apologies if I'm being too vague or unclear.
I use cgminer (v3.1.1 Win x64) setup against Slush'e pool (stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333) and I've been noticing a strange issue which I cannot explain and hopefully someone here can help me understand what's happening. I've noticed that Slush's pool is reporting a lot more blocks being found in cgminer then what's actually posted on Slush's stats (https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/).

For example here is a snippet of cgminer log which shows that pool apparently found 4 blocks:

but when I look at Slush's pool stats I only see 3 during that time:
18046 2013-05-15 22:58:40 4:06:17
18047 2013-05-15 23:00:07 0:01:27
18048 2013-05-15 23:00:36 0:00:22
So what happened with that block at 22:55
Here is another example from cgminer log:

and the above "new block" reported by stratupm does not show up in the Slush's stats at all.
Does anyone know why some of the new blocks reported from the pool by stratum do not make it to the pool stats
