The problem is that Verge stops issuing award blocks once the high hashing person finds a block. The difficulty then shifts to high difficulty and the perpetrator leaves the system hung for hours. This has to be fixed as the network must still issue award blocks even when extreme hash rate is issued. If it does not do this the entire verge system locks.
It's well understood what is happening. A solution just needs to be implemented. Growing pains.
Yes and Dev is working on it, so I am sure we will hear about it soon.
Everyone needs to relax. Derverkins is on the case.. Shit will get fixed. Blocks will be mined. And rewards will be gained.
Just breath people.
It takes a bit of time to implement a system update.

yeah, right now, it can be fixed quickly if people point hashpower at it once they recognize its happening. the other day we had as much hashpower as litecoin/dogecoin, and then when it dropped off, we were back to 10gh/s trying to solve a block meant for 600gh/s... it just shows that we are becoming more popular by large pools pointing hashpower at us. possibly clevermining? i am working on a fix right now. i have two options, one is to change the difficulty retarget to ~50 blocks, or
make the chain produce a low difficulty block once an hour no matter what. im still reviewing both ideas. if anyone from the community would like to have some input, feel free to pm me in chat or write me a message on here.
This dev best option! let them kill all hashrate they want if they are here to mine and help they will be rewarded accordingly if not they'll be discouraged to hit and run.
Wouldn't the low difficulty block also make the coin more profitable for miners and increase interest?
I know next to nothing about mining.
in a sense yes but then another bigger miner would show up and we are back to the same issue. Verge has been getting sometimes half the hashrate of what Dogecoin gets it's really a lot. Best is just to keep things as they are and let the chain produce a low difficulty block once an hour.
