        i would like to postulate that we are actually better getting to the next target [i]without[/i] temporary help
        i may be wrong, but now that we are doing retargets each 504 blocks, if we can establish a base line of more permanent miners (vs those attracted by one time bounties) then the retarget logic that bushstar put in place will be able , over a few cycles, to get things back on track where we are making clear progress without the need for temporary miners/bounties

        at that point we’ll be able to attract new long term miners , again vs the fly by night coin hoppers that can actually cause problems with quick hash rate changes

          I agree, while the bounties helped us get to block 33,000 and this was a good thing, we don’t want to become dependent on them, a slower but natural progression is better if you ask me. We’ll get there, only 71 blocks to go.

              You should check out the new layout and jump on ftc.d2.cc

              If your a heavy hasher we could use another! almost half the speed of vern’s pool right now :/

                  52 blocks left. Maybe a small push will bring it within 2 days.

                    It depends entirely on how many block average is used for the adjustment. I don’t recall reading or know if it was posted but seeing as they have current network hashrate on the stats page showing previous 60 blocks, I would tend to err on the side of caution.

                    If the 60 block average is used to calculate retarget, then the last 52 getting a significant boost could destroy our 41.4% difficulty drop but perhaps they are using previous 504 block average. If anyone knows which, I’d be interested to know.

                    It is only the stats page that uses the 60 block average. Retarget is calculated from the previous 504 blocks.

                      I’m not really a heavy hasher. Just have 1 7950 doing around 500-550 KH/s all day. I’ll check that pool out though. :)
