block 424284 was snatched from antpoo !
Heh yeah that was the last block I saw just before I went to sleep ... I didn't notice it was an orphan race ... was rather late Smiley
It was confirmed by BTCC so we got our block to BTCC faster than antpoo did Smiley

Checking the actual relay log (in china) at that time ...

Orange 32 is the block before the orphan race (fupool)
Green 37 is us (the orphan race here between us and antpoo)
Blue 44 is BTCC confirming us

So, no sign of antpoo on the china block relay, thus it must have been a late block, or something else ...
Clearly they've screwed up with that one.

Checking the btcd on one of our china nodes ...

Again no sign of it - the antpoo hash was 0000000000000000038a7019dfaaac6abf2a54d7d53e510958c310b8732571f7
The weird thing about it was that the timestamp in it "2016-08-08 16:37:40" was 1.5 minutes before the fupool block that we both confirmed, so they are certainly setting the timestamps in the blocks back in time for some reason.
Timestamps aren't accurate, but 'usually' represent when the work was sent to the miner, or a small amount of rolling forward after that.

blocktail.com doesn't show it at all.
I wonder if antpoo is hiding their orphans there now that they own it ... like they hide hardware errors and stales in their cgminer clone Smiley

Great technical analysis. I'm certainly glad someone knows, in depth, the inner-working of how BTC, the BTC Chain, and pools are supposed to operate. I'm also glad we have two of the best minds in the business running our pool!! Smiley

That's why WE ROCK the BLOCKS!  Grin

Mine on!!!!!

LOL- Ok got it. How do we know luck is a woman?
Well Frank always sang that luck be a lady, so I figured he knew what he was talking about.
https://youtu.be/ZJpGHR6ofus

I thought the lady was a tramp.... LOL. Maybe I'm confusing things in my small brain... Huh

Actually, "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" and "The Lady Is A Tramp" are both Sinatra charts. You ain't wrong.  Cool

Way to go, Xircom, punching out the latest block!  

Block on!   Wink

Maybe lucky block number 7 will bring us block number 8!  Cheesy

I hope so, that would be wonderful.

Still have a little over 2 hours to crack it. Smiley

My reward went down a little bit these past 2 blocks.  Is that because of the new hashing power that has come online?

Yup...you are correct, Grasshopper...our individual percentages decrease as the pool hash rate increases...but the balance is we find more blocks.

We *should* find more blocks.  Luck being what it is, it's very possible that we don't!  She is a fickle woman!

Let's not be pessimistic...or use personal attacks against firetreeactual or anyone else here.

I'm pretty sure they were talking about LUCK being a fickle woman.

LOL- Ok got it. How do we know luck is a woman?

I was indeed talking about luck being a fickle woman.   I'd never personally attack anyone here.  Especially firetreeactual - she's a huge boon to this thread Smiley

As for luck being a woman - have you noticed how she can't make up her mind and be consistent?  Yeah ...
Sorry man- all is cool.....and it's a great day here with Team Kano.

Looks like I picked a lucky time to have some rental hash giving me a boost! I'm not always that lucky. But I'm happy!  Cheesy

I was reading through the thread -- and was thinking the exact same thing by the time I got to the last post.

You definitely timed that well!  Grin



I lucked into it. But I have always taken the good with the bad, just this time there is more good than bad happening!  Grin

So far, I like the added hash speed on the pool. It seems to have helped in our block frequency. Smiley
