Stale blocks

[testz]

Difficulty was only able to go up by the max 4x increase.   THe stale/orphaned nodes were also hiding hash power!  So we are still near 1 minute rather than 5 minutes... much to my dismay.  Great for everyone else out there mining though!

When we can expect updated client version? Do you plane update retarget interval to 1 week instead 2? Do we get x64 version for Windows?

i think that's normal. 4/4 is just bad luck. have a look at my log:

Code Select Expand

5/11 stale in 19 hours.

Same to me, on a Haswell based machine I had two blocks wich disapeared after restart of the client. I have several orphans first day but I tought after difficulty grows up this will be fixed.

Ok,

So, I've 3 machines with aprox. 6.6 HPS total and got 4/4 Stale blocks.

yago@linux64 ~ $ grep generated ~/.protoshares/debug.log
generated 50.00
ERROR: ProtoSharesMiner : generated block is stale
generated 50.00
ERROR: ProtoSharesMiner : generated block is stale

Still no good blocks  :'(

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
