So the old chain will continue, sorta like ETN Classic? lol only to be ruled by ASICS

Am I wrong here? so the new chain ETN will still be called ETN what will they call the old chain then  and how are exchanges separating the 2 coins now ETNC and ETN maybe lol

Yes, and someone mentioned Suprnova ETN was gone and it is. OCMINER must have taken down the old chain pool and hopefully working on a new chain pool ETN... I'm sure he will come in here and announce if so.

The mined block wasn't a regular block. See that in block explorer (https://blockexplorer.electroneum.com/) the block 307501 was mined 6 hours ago, and it has only one transaction on it. Yesterday we had over 4,000 transactions in the queue to be processed in the blockchain.

I checked couple hours ago, the mempool had about 5,000 transactions pending, and now it has only 404 (https://blockexplorer.electroneum.com/txpool). Since we hadn't any block in this period, I suppose the 5,000 transactions pending where canceled.

from nanopool:

"We've installed a patch from ETN developers that should fix the block rejecting issue. Please, check the extra-reward proposal for ETN mining:https://www.facebook.com/electroneum/posts/2005544359707532 …
Extra rewards earned by the pool will be distributed among the miners #ETN"

Dude, come on use ur brain.
The block got found by nanopool, right?
ETN will reward nanopool for this, right?
ETN must send the ETN to the nanopool owner, right?
Transactions get confirmed by finding blocks, right?
I hope i dont need to explain more? What u say: The ETN team stated they will give the rewards only if the blocks are found quickly only happened in ur brain, but its not a fact. ETN Team told they reward the pools for finding the first *** blocks. Why u say: quickly, i guess nobody knows that because it's something only u say.

A question:
i see that the 2nd block got found, who knows on what pool this block got found?For what i know only the first block got found by nanopool, the 2nd i dont know?

Shame on me! Totally forgot about that, ur totally right, and i'm sorry about my previous post dude.

Funny thing is, i'm wondering if they gonna need to pay a reward. The diff is to high to get this done. Maybe over 5-10 blocks the diff get better and the mining speed gets higher. But for how it looks like the past 2 days this is never gonna happen.

I'm still wondering what the 2nd pool is (what also found the 2nd block)? I'm on nanopool and we found the first block, 2nd by an unknown pool?

Very good news!
 

Yeah its sad, i got 1 payout on nanopool; 2.4etn with an R9 290 tri-x (oké probably its faster then ur 1080 on cryptonight, still a shame).
I just keep mining but it's a waste of everything what i am doing right now.
This is also the last thing i will do for this coin, if it's not fixed in 1 week i'm gone here. I see the biggest miner also just left (with 2-4Mh/s is gone ~4,000,000.0 H/s) on nanopool.

They needed 2-3 months for testing an update, and they release an update with a big big bug. That's just stupid, while in the meantime they where using there own asics on there own  coin.
ETN Team helped to get this high diff, so it's up to them to get the diff lower also.

For now i will keep mining, but if people are leaving it only get harder, in the meantime ETN does nothing to help us, we are all helping for this coin but 0 hashes from ETN themself?

The ETN team needs to moderate their greediness a little and buy nicehash power to find these 27 blocks for their money and give themselves a bonus for finding these blocks for more than 4 hours.

I'm also wondering why the difficulty is going slightly higher with every block we find... shouldn't it go lower since the block took a longer time to be mined? I guess there are some moving averages taken into account which is why the Electroneum team said they need help with the first 27 blocks, maybe that's how long it takes for the blockchain to adjust into the average times of the last blocks.

But still.... block 307499 was at 96.6kkk diff. and now we're at 178.6kkk !! Let's hope that the whatever patch the team issued will be inserted into the pools and help fix the issue. The problem is not so much the diff. as it's the rejection of mined blocks for some technical reason I have not understood. Nanopool and Spacepools have this patch so let's support either of them.

EDIT: AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, AVOID MINING ON OTHER CHAINS!!! WE'RE ONLY LOSING POWER FROM THE MAIN CHAIN MAKING THINGS SLOWER Whatever the supporters of forked chains are promising you, is not gonna happen, use your brains and don't be scammed.


Before you all agree and fill 5 pages of this thread with requests to the team about buying NiceHash power, check their Twitter/FB page and try to understand that the problem is not ONLY the hashrate.
24 hours ago they explained that blocks are failing even though miners "mine" them and 10 hours ago they issued a fix, asking pool owners to update from github.

Maybe a little extra hashrate would help... but that would be like having a barel with one hole that's losing water, and what you do is fill the barel with more water in order for the level of water to stay still! Better fix the holes in my opinion!
