| Nov 4, 2015 at 8:29 | comment | added | Claris | @NickODell I think there's other misguided tinkering going on in that case which we aren't seeing. It's difficult to say without knowing the whole patch set. | |

@Bitcoin But the log bawejakunal posted shows that the total work goes down when the client changes the blockchain. Before: height=181 log2_work=37.083613 After: height=38 log2_work=36.832912 The 38 block chain is entirely contained within the 181 block chain.

Your modifications have essentially ensured frequent forks and reorganisations. The difficulty adjustments are long in Bitcoin are a long period partly as attack resistance, but also to avoid noisy chain movements. It's completely legal for the height of the chain to drastically reduce. | |

| Nov 4, 2015 at 3:37 | comment | added | Jimmy Song | Agreed, can you show us where the blockchain height decreased to 38? It's not in the log you've posted. | |
| Nov 4, 2015 at 3:29 | comment | added | Nick ODell | That's really strange. Can you pastebin the full log, including where the blocks are added/removed? | |
