Topic: Stuck on a block (Read 817 times)
Indeed it's lousy terminology. What they really mean is "stuck, having not found a block".
It confuses allot people when they use block instead of round. They aren't interchangeable terms.
I figured as much.. I have read they are stuck on a bad block somewhere and I thought to myself. "there is no such thing, its just dumb luck"
I see pools saying they get stuck on a block,
I am guessing that they are not really stuck on a block they just have not solved any in awhile and they are just saying they are stuck..
its not like a block gets assigned to a pool and they hash away at it until it is solved... if I understand it correctly, its just bad luck and they have not solved one in awhile.

Yes that's correct they aren't stuck as such, just bad luck and taking a lot longer to find a block which can be caused by low hash rate or bad luck.
