      i would personaly be pissed if i look into the description of that Bounty and decided to mine Ftc, to have a Chance of 5BTC
      and than recognice, that the pool made a decision to share that Bounty. In my opinion they don´t have the right to do that, it´s only up to Marduke.
      As i like the community i would share it, so don´t get me wrong. But i guess in this case it´s the wrong to make things over someones head.
      Cause this Bounty was created to attract singel miners, to come back to Ftc. What would you think if you read the description of a game, winning Car, and than you realize, you only get a couple of wheels, because the car manufactor decide this over the game oparator ?

      Anyway Greets to Marduk. ;D

      Edit: as the Block gets Orphand, it still matters. If you you spoke out a personal Bounty, you should stay with it or clearify this in the description.

      Miners join pools because they know they have a better chance of profiting, the pools make the rules & the fees, if miners don’t like them, they leave, had he solo mined he more than likely would not of found it, in fact had he solo mined, I might of found it :D
      [/quote]

      Ofcause i understand that, i mining on a pool, too. And for that reason you descript. But the bounty is not called out for the pool, but for a single Person. Thats all i say. and if that Person, wants that bounty alone, in my opinion it´s his right, otherwise you don´t Need rules.
      So again pls don´t get me wrong.

        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 :)
        [/quote]

        Thank you. I’m wondering how that could happen though.
        [/quote]

        Someone would need to come on with 51% of total hashing power to invalidate other block and force transactions in that block to start again. This would explain why the difficulty did not go down as much as expected. They must have used a phenomenal amount of hash power. No doubt an old GPU Bitcoin miner who does not take kindly to alts :)

        phenomenal amount of hash power? that was my Samsung S3@4khash! boom! :P

          Is the rest the FTC blockchain safe?

          Could they have just hacked the blockchain explorer?

          I hope you dont reward those smart*****…

                Yeah bush, like I said before that address alone would need some power to hash - it’s 16 digits :o, nearly half a full address, makes you wonder how long before the 33/34 key length will be too weak! :o

                  Frankly, if I had that much hashpower to waste and was an FTC hater, I could have come with much better than FTCsucks.

                  Almost tempted to announce on the trollbox that FTC blockchain has been comprised. Could do with a price crash to stock up on a few more FTCs.

                    Hash power to generate longer addresses get exponentially harder. I think out sun would burn out before they generated a whole address on current hardware :)

                    Bitcoin based addresses are safe for a while yet.

                      Also keep in mind it’s exponential in difficulty. Good luck :)

                        I know what you are saying. A couple of pools announced this kind option a head of time. I guess they wanted to attract people with a greater chance of getting a piece of the winning pot. If people were not happy they have the option to jump pools :)

                              I can’t post besides newbie section on bitcointalk yet… I had to get this off my chest though!

                              Somebody punch that worldcoin dev in the fucking mouth please! His coin just looks like the all new federal reserve coin… because they are scared of bitcoin and all the alts!

                              LoL Just read the rules to the forum after posting this… If my comment needs to be deleted so be it… but at the same time… I just can’t hide my feelings HAHA!

                                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
                                [/quote]

                                http://explorer.feathercoin.com/address/71mKxLX5RXeWFG61DZHfknStWC5RSf8hUb

                                now thats an interesting address, and some huge amount of coin.

                                block winner for 32960
                                cf404f2d1e… 32960 2013-05-23 00:26:43 200 5400.1 FTC

                                then the prize award for 32960
                                749be839fe… 32985 2013-05-23 08:02:49 800 7400.1 FTC

                                groll is this the address that nabbed 33000?

                                  Still confused: Was it 5 or 10 BTC for block 33,000?

                                  wemineftc.com says: “For the last 5BTC being rewarded for 33,000 we will be splitting up the reward to all pool members if our pool finds it.”

                                  wemineftc.com seems to think it’s 5BTC for block 33,000 - and not 10BTC, no?

                                  Strange thing: wemineftc.com does not even list block 33,000 in it’s block stats page:

                                    I threw in a 5 BTC speed bonus if the block was complete by May 25th. I sent Bushstar the extra 5BTC earlier this morning… wow, I should have pushed it to like May 22. :)

                                      Here is the message from their site. So 5BTC to the member and 5BTC to every member. I’ve sent them a message asking for addresses.

                                      Still confused: Was it 5 or 10 BTC for block 33,000?

                                      wemineftc.com says: “For the last 5BTC being rewarded for 33,000 we will be splitting up the reward to all pool members if our pool finds it.”

                                      wemineftc.com seems to think it’s 5BTC for block 33,000 - and not 10BTC, no?

                                      Strange thing: wemineftc.com does not even list block 33,000 in it’s block stats page:

                                      Block 33,000 is listed as an orphan block as someone forced another block 33,000 on with a mean vanity address.

                                          I am starting to believe we are not alone (Aliens), or in the existence of Quantum computers ;D

                                          Are you going to investigate this further? Would be quite interesting.

                                          (1) How can one orphan the chain at the exact time block 33,000 is due?

                                          (2) Which resources does one need to create address 6pFeathercoinSucksCBTuauhTGi8cdDCV ?
