I have been mining on ecoinpool a private pool now for two months.  I have found 2 different BTC blocks and both blocks show as orphaned and nothing to show for my work.  Any ideas why I am getting orphan blocks?  How do I fix this problem?  Instead of mining earning nothing I think I am better off mining a regular pool since I have no payouts with 2 blocks found.

Sounds like the version of Bitcoin ecoinpool is running is dangerously out of date.

Orphan blocks can be because of bad network conditions, but having 2 in a row does suck. What is your network like, OP?

Network only has 3 pcs connecting and mining from the pool.  Total hashrate is just under 5 Gh/s.  I am connected on a verizon fios line so I am not sure.  I have successfully mined namecoins but the last 2 bitcoins both orphaned along with their matching namecoins.  The other namecoins found in between the bitcoins are fine and generate payments.

[Apologies, I confused ecoinpool with encoin, which an alternate currency (still in the proposed stage apparently yet though.)]
