Topic: Need to be educated on this -- my miners are lost their ways (Read 501 times)

O_O I don't know, I don't know that much, I'm a little boggled by that as well though.

en.....nice, I made my own chain
and when I made the transfer it says 38 confirmations, broadcast through 46 nodes, so who are those nodes I drag

Probably your miner failed to download new blocks, maybe you had bad nodes or client choked, who knows.

So if I had to guess, it was working on old blocks in the blockchain.
Perhaps connections failed, so your miner decided to continue its own version of a blockchain solo, and upon catching up with the majority of the network, probably all was orphaned or something.

If I had to take a wild guess.

To all tech-savvys, I need some education on this issue.

my knowledge of crypto-currencies only limited to the pint that I can build up some mining rigs and make them work.
and make switch between mining different coins to maximize profits.

that said, I started to mine PWC last night with a well sync wallet.
the wallet I use started to show "out of sync" after I found my first block, and after that it's really on and off like this.
my first thought was maybe there were too little nodes, so I searched and added more nodes
and I also saw blocks keep coming , and get confirmed, happy mining? nop

went to bed and dream I have pwc all over my apartment, and yeah getting rich

woke up this morning and made some transfer to the exchange, after I saw hundreds of confirmation in my own wallet but nothing on the exchange, I feel wired and check the wallet again I found

1. my difficult is still 0.08xxxx something
2. my wallet stopped download new blocks to sync

so I removed the blocks data file and resync the wallet, and ...... dadadada...... there is nothing after the first block I found compare with the original file that I have like 10K pwc 

I am not trying to blame any one except myself per say , just if anyone cares to explain or point me to some article links about what happened?  really appreciated

One thing I noticed that once I stopped mining all blocks I found stop getting confirmed, my intuition is like biting my own tail, miners created a block and confirmed block it created, it's in a dead loop
