      Hey Guys,

      As you can see by checking out the stats page - http://www.feathercoin.com/netstats/ - we are down to 2.2mil kh/s and up to 6:37 min/sec per block. The multipool insanity has left the loyal miners doing all the grunt work pushing the network forward. So, if you have kh/s to spare - throw them onto FTC and help us get stabilized.

      Wrapper, any intel on what’s going on right now in terms of expectations/strategy?

        Ok pointing miners now!

        Shit we really need to start looking seriously at the gravity well / single block retarget as this is getting silly.

            It’s not everyday that you get a jump up in price like what we have seen in the last 24hrs, but definitely frustrating :(

                Yeah I read that but I don’t feel qualified to answer it. Based on your research it seems like it would protect us from the difficulty trap we are currently mining our way out of.
                I’m happy to help but I was kind of hoping the bitcoin minus bitcoin project might get me kick started with this stuff. Has kevlar or any of the other devs had any opinions on this?

                  Are there any instructions as to pointing one card to one pool and other cards to another pool while in cgminer?

                  I can get that rolling in the morning but I’m away from the rig at the moment.

                        I’m coming at you if that rips a hole in the space time continuum.

                        Actually you’ll know right now if that happened. Am I throttling you at this very moment?

                          Make sure you have dual monitors setup. Run one instance of cgminer (preferably the leftmost cgminer shortcut) on the left monitor and the second instance on the right monitor. I’ll post a tutorial vid tomorrow if this is unclear. This should prevent most issues.

                          edit: debated on adding hyphen to ‘leftmost’; ultimately decided against it.

                            Tuck never got back to me, so I guess I need to take this seriously since I have obviously failed in my future task and reached through the rip in space time and killed him.

                            As for your advice… uh. Monitors?

                            I’m full on over LAN accessing it through the command line.

                            You know what -let’s not complicate it. I’ll behave and just get in there with the full set up like I’m supposed to. It’s not like I didn’t just make a metric crap ton off DOGE today.

                                  How long estimated will it take to get back to normal? I noticed after last night my work in the pool was way down than normal because of all these people causing the difficulty to rise.

                                    Although the Multipool are leaching some cheep coins, we still have a significant network and fair members mine most of the coins.

                                    However, I have realised there is a balance.

                                    1. The Multipools are selling those extra coins on, so more members, who are not miners, can start to get coins. Mining is expensive and technical to get into, so I (as a small inefficient miner) won’t sell till I get a reasonable price.

                                    2. If more miners come on the network, the difficulty will rise and we will get less coins anyway. i.e. we are still mining at preferential rates as early adopters.

                                    I still think it is urgent to do something to restore fairness.

                                    But, it is still more important to do the right thing. To combine any urgent change with other fixes to minimise testing, and Members and Miners upgrade work.

                                      looks to be about 4 hours now.

                                      “Time to retarget” in below link

                                        The multipools are using their large hash rate to manipulate the difficulty. It is the difference between the Diffculty and the next potential drop in difficulty at the ReTarget the Mutltipools are exploiting.

                                        Currently they have driven it up to 185 when it should be 165 for the current hash rate.

                                        It we increased our miners to 4 GHash/s over the next block, then slowly by say, 0.1 GHash/s per week, there would be no Difficulty Difference to leach from.

                                            Sure is taking a while to retarget. Projected difficulty is in the 16x range.
