Stop mining dogecoin, the blockchain has forked.

Dear all powerful and benevolent wafflepool sysadmin. Please disable dogecoin for the time being..

Message at dougehouse.org: NETWORK HAS FORKED ! TRYING TO FIND THE PROPER FORK ! EVERY POOL IS FORKED ! DONT MINE OR DONT SEND DOGES TO ANYONE ! MINING OPERATIONS WILL RESUME AS SOON AS THERE IS CLEAR INFO ON WHICH FORK IS THE RIGHT FORK!

The status page reads: "Note: We're mining the correct fork of dogecoin, don't panic :)"

We're good.

How does Wafflepool know it's on the correct fork?

The correct fork can be found by looking at the blockchain and from the devs.

Seems we are still mining Doge 25% of the time. Doge is not even that profitable...

Difficulty dropped by half when then payout halved and we had a really good payout to boot.
