07:14:39 <dav0h> any other miners having issues with difficulty?
07:30:54 <apotheon> I think mining difficulty is going up because of the evident attempted 51% attack and a bunch of people spinning up more hashing power to fight it.

07:31:11 <apotheon> if you're not aware of it
08:44:49 <binaryFate> what's the "evident attempted 51% attack"?
09:06:05 <merope> Just people freaking out over a brief hashrate spike on minexmr, that's all
13:09:07 <pieterse> i'm syncing about 9 months of backlog, which takes about 1 day, is this normal? Or is it due to my spinning disk.
13:26:53 <moneromooo> Doesn't strike me as odd for a spinning disk.
13:28:00 <louipc> sounds normal
16:50:20 <selsta> apotheon: there was no attempted 51% attack
16:51:11 <selsta> pieterse: did you update to the latest monerod version?
16:51:23 <selsta> it should contain new checkpoints and speed up the sync
