Quick update:
Working on changing the retarget time. Not a big issue.
Switchout is giving me fits at the moment. Mining clients switch fine, passive client are not switching correctly.....weird.
I'll keep you updated.
Also, I pulled my miner off to do the client testing. I'm sending it back in until the retarget.

1 block diff changes is the way to go give it 6 months and most coins will have it 
The plain fact is somebody out there with a lot of hash is mining the bulk of the coins driving the difficulty up, then abandoning the network leaving the miners to crunch through difficult blocks meaning they get few coins, and then as soon as miners crunch through enough blocks to lower the difficulty and get a reasonable amount of coins, they rejoin raising difficulty again.
Miners then get fed up with getting so few coins, and abandon the network. Getting them back can be difficult as they feel negatively about the coin.
So yes, Zack, I get what you are saying, but the fact is that the coin might not survive long enough to release a new client with a lowered difficulty, losing miners is bad but not deadly, losing nodes is. And restarting and getting a good hashrate is difficult, so getting included on exchanges is more difficult. The present real hashrate is 900K/h. The rest is me and the seasonal heat will soon prevent me from contributing at all.
If I sound a bit pissed off, I'm sorry, theres been months of work put into this and while I don't mind someone profiting from that work, watching it get destroyed by their greed is hard to bear.
the big miner keep jumping on is what stopped me mining sxc as all I was doing was mining the difficult blocks so the big miner could mine easy again I would be happy to put some coins in if it helped get new client with updated diff changes sooner
Exactly,and I don't blame you or anybody else for quitting the network.. It's common sense, which obviously this miner doesn't have unless he's intentionally trying to destroy the coin. But you can't throw code together, and release it because if there is a bug and the cleint stops working properly, then the coin is dead. Lava is testing a new client on a testnet, and that takes time, because he has to generate the blocks and see the client switch at it's predetermined block, so the only help we could do with right now is keeping nodes up. If you have a wallet, keep it running.
I have mine running and I can throw of few GPUs at it with a lower intensity so I don't run a chance of burning the house while I'm away How many blocks do we have left until the diff resets?

I have nearly every altcoin wallet going 24/7 lol if there is anything I can do to help let me know

Yeap... That would be the plan.. keep our nodes but lower our hashrate. cpu mine and point to another alt. If he's greedy but stupid, he might realise that we aren't chewing through his difficult blocks for him, and if the coin fails for lack of miners, he's wasted alot of electricity and hardware mining a useless alt. Might even decide to do the right thing and pull his hash off slowly.
If he's trying to kill the coin, he'll think he's succeeded and piss off... He's obviously checking the mining stats at least. And if he checks this thread, he might realise that we are sick of his shit and are about to do something about it.

Hmmmm.. Over halfway to the difficulty change.. 200 blocks to go,,,Do you think this is a large miner who's greed is making him stupid, or an attempt to kill the coin by discouraging miners ?.. I have a cunning plan if it's the later.... Could be used on the former too, to send a message..
i'm out of mining now, long weekend is coming, lets see where that miner goes

1 block ftw ?
August 29, 2013, 05:51:29 PM
I think you would be better off making it 1 block diff change like paycoin , ADT and a few other coins

Quick update on the new client. I hit a snag at the switchout and miners. It doesnt' look like anything major from a coding perspective, but it means I'll have to do another round of testing ( ughhhh ).
Down from 55 M/h.. anybody know how high that spike hit ?
that spike is coming everyday around the same time. looks like someone is working hard on keeping the diff high
Yeap, been watching it. I think we have a very big miner raiding the network for all the SXC they can get, which I suppose should be flattering. Apparently they are also hitting up a few other low hash alts they think have potential. Good luck to them when the new client comes out. I suggested to lava that he tweak the retarget time to 30 blocks, which I didn't want to do when he has so much on his plate and it would increase the time before the new client is released, but looking at this it was a good move.
Now I'm supposed to be getting some time off from being "the freaking SXC fairy", so I'll hang up my tutu, wand and tiara until the next zombie bonus... BTW, I don't think it's true that women love men in uniform, they treat me like some kind of weirdo.. what's up with that ?

Hey guys!
I'm running the client through the last tests, if it passes I should be able to release in the next few days. At the moment I'm mining into it, and have done multiple send and receive tests, all successful. The tricky part is making sure the 'magic number' switches out correctly. So far, sending and messaging check out.
We're very close. I want to thank everyone again that has hung in with us.
And once again, is anyone out there that knows how to build for a Mac?

i noticed those .10 added to the blocks lol. Please keep testing, I'm still far from my million target lol. This coin is going to be huge, since I missed BTC I'm not going to miss SEX sorry, SXC
