Would be nice to set the stratum diff back to normal, 4 is a lot ...

Stratum port 3413 difficulty has been changed to 2.

Also you can mine on port 3414 with varDiff from 1 to 16.

... but with a high diff there is a lot of gpu power wasted on restarting works everytime a new block is found.

nonsense!

Im turning back my rigs to pool.
I hope some other guys can do same and we help to adjust diff sooner and we will get back to normal.
Lets mine guys!!!

Ok, here i go too.
Don't know why i'm doing this, UTC has been steadily dropping for a long time now without any real development, but oh well, i like this "rescue" moves Tongue
All systems operational and mining utc.

Est. Next Difficulty Change in 1 Blocks
Next difficulty after 1 blocks will be about 0.2  from a look at the graph (pool not reporting correctly I think)

Let's shed some light on that!

The pool uses simple linear calculation:

Est. Next Difficulty = pow(2,16) * difficulty / networkhashps

where difficulty and networkhashps are reported by wallet:

 ultracoind getmininginfo
{
    "blocks" : 1600296,
    "currentblocksize" : 1459,
    "currentblocktx" : 2,
    "difficulty" : 0.32480856,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "networkhashps" : 1335778,
    "pooledtx" : 2,
    "testnet" : false,
    "Nfactor" : 14,
    "N" : 32768,
    "powreward" : 0.01000000
}

What wallet is 'saying' that pool is 'displaying'

PS: As you can see, powreward also very far from actual =10 UTC  Smiley

This is what it needs - not enough hash to get too many blocks at present.

I salute Meebo though for sticking with it when everyone else went AWOL on alenevaa's pool - for a reward of perhaps 5 UTC per block (every day or so).

Difficulty definitely coming down - 0.3248 and rate increasing

and the wallets are staking (1 conf.) - it will take a few days to get 6 confirmations I reckon..........

The difficulty is still increasing even after 17 hours between the last two blocks.

If you graph the difficulty - its still heading towards the stars

but on the bright side the increase is linear - not in an exponential phase

in other words the rate of increase is constant - not accelerating

It was exponential until about block 1600280


Good news!

Difficulty has turned the corner and is decreasing............

Just how fast it will come down is the question? - and will it over-correct at the bottom?

We'll have to see how it behaves after dropping to normal levels, but it's wonderfully happy that diff is already decreasing!

The fact that the difficulty is decreasing again, that sounds good...is it?
Yes it is!

Then Alenevaa mentioned that the wallet has stopped? That sounds bad!
I just run wallet again and it's working. So it's not so big issue. But it's the first time when wallet has been terminated.

Hi folks,

I think the last few comments are a little confusing for us folk...
The fact that the difficulty is decreasing again, that sounds good...is it?
Then Alenevaa mentioned that the wallet has stopped? That sounds bad!
I had a stake arrived this morning, just after midnight...how does this tie in with wallet stopping?

Who is sorting out the issues, do we know?

Cheers,

Roister...

The last version of wallet [UltraCoin version v0.7.4.1-9-g23ef1a4-beta (2015-11-09 07:50:49 -0800)] has terminated with no (visible) reason.
The previous one works very stable under heavy load.

That's what I've found in debug.log

Code:
******* exception encountered *******

Possible that its trying to counter the low diff we had earlier. (many blocks insterted)
I wonder what `gethashespersec` is wallet returning now.

Now that you mention it, that would also explain the incredible report of 12Mh/s network speed. The bug in diff adjustment would keep the diff low but the hashrate estimation would still think that the diff was high, reporting the hashrate that would have been needed to have the 3 blk/s rate with the difficulty that should have been set instead of the one actually set.
Now the hashrate is slowly decreasing, but the amount of found blocks in 3 days still pushes the diff up.
Now, this is the hard part: for 2-3 days, the block rate was around 40x or more the normal rate.
That means that it would take around at least 2x40 days to balance the amount of blocks found, and so the diff to normalize...
That's not nice at all :/

Same here, wallet is up to date, 1600293 blocks of transaction history. Last received block was generated 12 minute(s) ago. Stake minting enabled, expected time to earn reward is 1 second(s), but not even getting any stakes/orphans. I have 5 active connections to ultra coin network, must be more than 5 right?
