Looks like we have the chain moving along with 1014 MH. If we can keep about 1000 MH consistently we should be able to get things to stabilize.
This is not correct ... we still need 10GH ... the situation is complicated but I have worked through and back tested it against the stats and think I have the cause. Too complicated to type in full, but putting that aside for a moment ...
1. There is a multipool/individual(s) exacerbating the problem
2. Network hash rate: Something is wrong with that, when we were stuck for hours a few blocks ago it was showing 1000 MH ... since then the cryptominingpool alone has added nearly 1000 Mh, and other people have vouched support, and yet it has dropped to 900 odd. In fact currently that pool shows 1400 MH and using getmininginfo says it is 1000 MH
3. The block/minute time has only dropped to a block every 8mins, I know from experience that throwing 5,000 MH drops it to block/2 min ... in theory 10,000MH/10GH should return us to a block/minute and see block 145,000 in less than two days.
For info: 10GH/s @ block/minute average would generate 16,000,000+ DGB at a market value of 6.5 BTC, at current rental it would only cost 6 BTC. Alternatively if people contributed a combined total of 10GH/s it would mean every one gets paid on average better than rental rates!
