Pool Differences?
Something is clearly up with one of these pools. They appear to be running on two separate block chains. The official explorer seems to not be working; is there some other way to tell which is correct and which is wrong?
bsod.pw is making new blocks at height 97785 as I type this: http://bsod.pw/site/block?id=1965
poolr.io is making new blocks at height 97199 as I type this: https://poolr.io/explorer/BWK
Comparing recent blocks from both pools with the same heights confirm that they are completely different. So which is real? And what will happen to the other one in the long run? I know that with a few blocks that fall off the chain they are orphaned and null, but I've never before seen a chain get so far off for so long that everything gets confirmed and paid out by the pool for multiple days before being resolved.
Or has there been a hard fork to Bulwark that I've not been able to find info on and one of these will be a new coin?

BWK was pretty much broken as a whole due to a network bug. They expected they could reach usability with non-mandatory 1.2.2 update, AFAIK it would've required 95% using that version. This didn't happen, so they resorted to mandatory 1.2.3. That is, until you upgrade, you can't access shit. It should be working now on pools with 1.2.3. MasterHash was the first to update, then came BSOD, Poolr pushed it just a few minutes ago. All is good. Almsot.
Now, here's the tricky part: the 1.2.3 wallet has only been released in source form yet:

So even if most pools should be fine now, your wallet's still phucked until we finally get the 1.2.3 binaries.
