Wow, I was going to ask if anyone knew how to buy BTC in Europe with fiat, and https://www.litebit.eu/en/ looks really interesting. Now, I've got to take a closer look. Don't have much time this weekend, but I'll have to make some time because I really want to get aggressively on the buy side of all that dumping!
I finally got around to doing a 24 hour analysis comparing the block find numbers between algos (much easier that I thought due to some block explorer features I was overlooking).
Groest........541
Qubit..........556
Scrypt.........177
SHA-256.....515
Skein..........572
Total blocks found 2361.
If we add the averaged 369 blocks that scrypt should also be finding to that total, we’d we looking at a total of 2730, which would be very close to theoretical.
I’m not at all sure about what could be causing this, but with the issue having to do with scrypt, and with scrypt being the “old” algo, my first inclination is to ask if active “old” wallets, or previously configured and still not updated pool servers, or exchanges, or the like, might not be causing this.
It because of the multipool mining scrypt, they put the difficulty so high that it take hours to generate a block when they leave.
So renting some scrypt mining will help this issue?
No Scrypt blocks have been found since block 155713.
Starting at 155713 until now, here's the count of each algorithm found:
837 groestl
1 scrypt
835 sha256d
845 skein
850 qubit
Something is definitely not right... and it's not a difficulty problem:
Mining Difficulty: Scrypt 87.16752915
Mining Difficulty: Sha256d 1306958.89099947
Mining Difficulty: Groestl 601.99800068
Mining Difficulty: Skein 2564.90447229
Mining Difficulty: Qubit 28.76510527
