It looks like the clock time on the server is waaaaay off, that's what is messing with the difficulty. It might be what is causing the abnormalities. It may be your best bet to switch to utc.tumblingblock.com, utc2.tumblingblock.com, or http://utc.hashhot.com/ and keep checking back until we can get the server side issues ironed out.

The NTP server that ultrablockparty.com was pointing to is 7 minutes off of pool.ntp.org. I've reset the clock manually and have stopped using the NTP server that the host has provided as it is clearly misconfigured. We'll just have to tweak it manually until the provider can be persuaded to make a working NTP server available that is on the same time as the rest of the world.

This problem will have much less of an effect once we leave the exponential retarget that is in operation now and implement the new difficulty system that averages out over more blocks with the new wallet.

We had this issue before on a smaller scale, I am contacting the server host now to work on getting the issue resolved. I sincerely apologize if this has effected your mining operations.

But it is statistically not possible to have 3-4 less than 1 second blocks one after the other.
And this repeating itself over and over again!

Further more can you explain the more then double difficulty for a few seconds, than normal again.
How do you explain the increase in the networks Hashrate....

The blockfind cron runs once a minute. It is very possible to find 2-3 blocks in that span and they will look like that until it updates. There is nothing wrong with the pool.

We know its the pools address, but how do you explain the 0 shares, and the weirdly jumping up and down difficulty?

If it is 0 shares, how do I get my share, how do you know who mined what. This is impossible!!!
There are no 0 share blocks in the other pools!

Don't try to belittle the problem!

I just spoke with Kracko on the issue, that address is the pool address. Those are real miners, but the pay out is being redirected through the pool.

I think this all started when UltraBlockParty got 51%
I am switching to thmblingblock! I would advice everyone else to get out of UltraBlockParty, just to be safe

I guess I am not the only one seeing this weird difficulty.
Have you seen this:
Block Finder      Time Actual Shares
855728    unknown    12/04/2014 12:59:25    0
855727    unknown    12/04/2014 12:59:02    0
855726    unknown    12/04/2014 12:58:35    0
855725    unknown    12/04/2014 12:58:35    0
855732    unknown    12/04/2014 13:01:56    0
855731    unknown    12/04/2014 13:01:47    0
855742    unknown    12/04/2014 13:07:46    0
855739    unknown    12/04/2014 13:07:46    0

This has been going for a few days at ultrablockparty
This are real blocks, there are hundreds of them and they all point to:
Udy7KcixihH49FguNhB3XM7yKAhofyfiwS

THIS is definitely not normal!!!
If the displayed info is correct, and I read it correctly while we mine the hard blocks, some unknown entity is mining 0 diff. blocks!!!

No mining UTC for me today, such high diff!

As a UK miner there are currently more sensible directions to point my rigs in. I'm a hobby miner who normally sells a little (to contribute to electric costs) and keeps a little to speculate (because i believe a coin has a future). Based on todays diff the price would need to double, at least to reach abreak even. Which means I'd get more UTC if I exchanged fiat (that I'd normally spend on electric) and purchased UTC on an exchange or mined another coin and purchased UTC with the proceeds.

It has been a fun 3/4 months mining UTC, I have enjoyed the ride so far, I'll just keep hold of my bags for now and hope the price increases to a point where UK mining becomes viable again & I can increase my UTC stash!

Big up to Kracko for the superb pools......apart from the odd outage, everything is rock solid with very few rejects. Thanks.

What is going on with all this coin like swarm,madesafecoin,nushares,fuelcoin which from very low marketcap they skyrocket like there is no tommorow and ultracoin fights very hard to maintain a market cap of 600k-900k...like i said we need to be above 2mil of marketcap to draw attention and this need to be done asap.regards

who is running ultrablockparty pool? fix your mail please.

I believe it's Kracko. As I recall last week he said that he was going for holiday, so probably he'll be ureachable for a few days.

Again a very great opportunity for Ultracoin, this time to attend at The North American Bitcoin Conference this January, and also a great progress to see the new upcoming developments with the Ultracoin wallet and a ton of improvements over the old wallet.

The only thing that should happen now is that Ultracoin expand into the top 15 of Coinmarketcap and that worldwide investors and traders will notice Ultracoin more and more, appreciate Ultracoin higher and will pick it up as their new solid and precious investment.
The rest will follow automatically after that.

So let's all be realistic and proud, a altcoin (UTC) that’s now more than 10 months “old” and is still in the top 30 of Coinmarketcap, a coin that has a strong community and a serious and dedicated hardworking management team can only be a winning coin and a coin that’s here to stay.

A coin that’s here for the long haul !
A coin with a bright future !

Welcome to Ultracoin !
Welcome to the future …!

Warm regards,
Paul.

Well said Paul!

I may have some more good news for UTC, but i wont jump the gun Wink
