Hello everyone this is my first post on Darkcoin Talk even though I've been actively mining Darkcoin since June! For months I've been mining on p2pool I have seven R9270's and I pull about 30MH. But recently I decided to try and solo mine for a little bit.
According to coinwarz. with the average difficulty around 3000 it said I should find a block once every five days. I thought it'd be fun to generate my own block and to know that my block will be present on the chain forever. It's been about a week now since I started and I've actually found three blocks during that time.
Only problem is that when I do find a block the the generated Darkcoins go into my wallet only to be taken out about 30 seconds later. I know this is called a orphan block and that my DarkcoinQT isn't getting the message to the the other miners fast enough. I have twenty active connections to to the dark network and it just seems unlikely that all three of my generated block would orphan. Is there anything that I might be missing that is causing me to orphan so frequently?
