P2pool cloud:estimated time to block=5h 28min, but no block found since 48h?

Wellenreiter

I just noticed, that the feathercoin p2pool cloud didn’t find a single block for two days now, while running at ~35 Mhash and calculating time to block around 5.5h.

I think that’s possible, but not normal .

Is anything wrong here? Other pools running at comparable hash rates find blocks at the calculated 5.x hours rate.

Hm. From my pool logfile:

Does not look too bad so far… You should have received FTC at roughly these times while mining on the FTC p2pool(s) ?

I got my last payment on 26th.
I was mining at 27th around 7pm, but not this morning at 6am.
so it seems, that there was simply ‘bad luck’ on the p2pools ;)

so let me rephrase my question: why are no recent blocks shown on the pools websites?

I thought, that the blocks of the last 24 hours are shown under ‘recent blocks’

[edit] just after I posted a found block is shown on the web page of the p2pools.

can it be, that the block from 27th 7.xx pm was orphaned?

Check out Terracoin attack, in Feathercoin security…

I have never seen a day on p2pool with no block find, and the (Genral Feathercoin) hash rate was low (So we should have done better).

Everything seems to be back to normal at the moment:

time to block = 5h 34 minutes
Time between the last two blocks found: ~ 5 hours 15 minutes
