Those are transactions of one block that is orphaned according to your explorer.

The block is
Code:
be4081a8b549f0d22c9a5deffbfcce96ceb3828a2425b7c9f1adce6249fa9f97

The current valid block is
Code:
5051737cc4f965034e3c5565853c05d42af21baf62e2232b5e6101710c30e4c6

I'm assuming that block height 2654093 are POS blocks. As I run a full node and the height is only at 2629568 at the time of writing this. Cryptopia also reports the height at 2628045 when they put their node into maintenance mode "21/01/18 - Investigating Deposit issues. Rebuilding wallet." It seems that no one was mining the coin. I started mining to keep the coin alive.

I got interested in this ordeal when I added paccoin to the pool I've been developing for a year for testing. As well as the volume of trades at Cryptopia in the first few days of release. I've also been watching the announcement thread with astonishment to how the situation is being handled. I'm assuming that you're trying to figure out the issue that was stated in pull request #12.

My suggestion for the whole ordeal is to be able to replicate the issue in an controlled manner. Add regression tests to check for possible problems that can arise. Thus having better quality control for the main chain. The first step is to add an regtest mode just like bitcoin has.

I have a question to the community. Can anyone think of why there might be duplicate blocks in the blockchain for Paccoin?

Explorer address: http://159.65.36.99:3001/

Here is an example of a recent duplicate:
