"Our block explorer is broken:
stuck at block 44,974 from from November 2013. That is why our market cap dropped from about $600,000 to about $200,000 on Coinmarketcap. We also dropped from position 41 to position 56. We need to get this fixed ASAP. If people get used to us being listed at position 56, we will stay there, and we will never rise above it again. If this is a tactic to try to get people to buy more UNO, it is a dumb tactic because people will think that UNO is a cellar dweller not worth buying. If anyone has the power to fix this please do before the damage done is permanent.
BTW, the exact same thing happened to Noirbits last year (whether intentionally or unintentionally) and their price still hasn't recovered. Their block explorer was stuck for months, and no one said anything.
We HAVE TO get our SH*T together and stop looking like a bunch of rank amateurs if we want this coin to rise to where we all know it belongs."
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313126.460 Unobtanium Block Explorer is stuck on block 44974. This is causing havoc with people relying on coinchoose to produce
sane information. How long before someone fixes the problem? Is it policy to leave it up there with fake obscene numbers when it's known it's not correct? Or does it take this long for someone to do something about it? Thanks for the wasted time mining UNO due to your bad data and
lack of sanity checking. There's no reason you should consider data valid for a
block count that is from November. In fact -- if your script detects a block 'OLDER/smaller than the previous block' on that block explorer, it should consider it INVALID. And sustained numbers of invalids should, at a minimum, instead produce an AVERAGE profitability over the past 7/10/30 days until the problem resolves itself.
Or delist the coin entirely until the problem is fixed. This should NOT require human intervention on the part of coinchoose! It should have happened automatically through simple sanity checking code! That's certainly to be preferred to keeping it up there as 12x the profitability of BTC -- causing CryptoSwitcher to fail for untold numbers of people. And it's been stuck there for the past 12 hours on CoinChoose. Poor response time by any measure.
