woot someone sent us to #2 w/ 54 votes. We definitely should be able to get 101 more to push us over Litecoin at this rate. :D

I’m in with #55.

the chain has forked and newest get it, the weirdest part is the confirmation was done by an address that seems to have done some weird strike(possibly a lot more then 51%) in the past as it got a couple of straight 32901-32918 32960-32966. seems to be weird in my view

That is weird. Nice find.

wemineftc.com gets the prize.

It looks like someone with a fair bit of hash power came on to orphan block 33,000 and to squeeze on their block instead. What a neat trick :)

Thank you. I’m wondering how that could happen though.

Block 33,000 was orphaned on wemineltc.com :(

That was a cruel block for an orphan to happen on. Now I need to find the miner, if I cannot then we can still send the bounty to the block generation address. I’ve had to do that already for one of the bounties. Some miners are not paying attention and were probably a bit surprised by a random 800FTC coming in :)

If you find the miner let me know. The client allows someone to verify that they own an address, in this case the address generated when the block was mined.

Why would the words feathercoinsucks be in the physical ftc address? Seams a little fishy to me.

There are two results in the blockchain when searching for block 33000:

http://explorer.feathercoin.com/search?q=33000

How can you tell which one is valid?

The block from wemineftc.com has an address of 1MXX4zZuFvWXwJc3ZmFyhT1AjRYaN9wAbd.

The other block has an address of 6p[b][color=red]FeathercoinSucks[/color][/b]CBTuauhTGi8cdDCV

It seems a bit suspicious that this would be the winning address.

The wemineftc.com block has an earlier timestamp.

You can get customized addresses.

If you look at the transaction history for that address, you will see that this is the only transaction for that address:

http://explorer.feathercoin.com/address/6pFeathercoinSucksCBTuauhTGi8cdDCV

So somebody happened to solo mine block 33000 using an address that doesn’t have any other transactions on it, and an address with a suspicious string in it, and there was a competing hash submitted for that block that ended up being orphaned… That seems extremely fishy to me.

I hope somebody will do a little more digging before the award is handed out.

Block 33000 mined by marduke at wemineftc.com. wemineftc.com announced previously that they would split the bounty between all the miners in the pool based on the the proportion of work each miner did to mine that block. – http://wemineftc.com/news

Great news. 10 BTC being shared makes it even better.

That block just disappeared from their block stats page. Did it get orphaned, or did they manually remove it from their statistics for some reason? Does anybody know how to find out?

That looks amazing. I can’t wait to see some numbers on how well it keeps the cards cool. Nice work.
