I thought you were doing PoS of some coin. So, you were on blockchain testing now, and 30 full nodes have run for your own coin, nice. Good Luck!

Thanks, no test phase is over is real live Wink

.

But can anybody answer my question what is the real reason of changing value of orphan blocks?

You mean, reducing the number of orphan blocks, right?
As far as I know, orphan blocks are normal, and that's happened on another side (PoS/PoW miners) as I said in my above post. But when the number of orphaned blocks was too hight, it may something was wrong with the network health. But I'm not sure about it.

Ok, I am talking of my own EmergencyCoin.

So we had a rising number of Orphan blocks (our block explorer allows to watch). Now it is reducing...

There will be always some orphon blocks thats clear

I just want to figure out if there is a problem or not. Testing a blockchain is one think. Rising above 30 full nodes now something else....

Which coin were you doing PoS?
Orphan blocks happened while two-person creates a PoS block at the same time (similar time), and blocks found by the person with the more difficult target (better Pos Hash) that will be added to the main chain.

In a more general (PoW/PoS) Orphaned block are valid blocks that aren't part of the main chain.

I'm not sure how to reduce this Orphan block, but may how much peer that your wallet connected will affect.

Hi,

has anyone an idea how i can reduce/manage Orphan Blocks in a Proof of Stake coin.

What are the reasons for orphan blocks at altcoin in general?

Thanks.
