Nicholas Bohm to Satoshi: no new packets generated today (February 10, 2009)

Nicholas Bohm February 10, 2009 16:45 UTC

Just to let you know that Bitcoin has generated no new packets today, although it typically generates 8 to 10 packets each day (although sometimes fewer), and the option to generate is ticked. Existing packets are proceedings towards maturity, or have matured, at about the usual rate. Progress to maturity takes around 21 to 23 hours.

I thought this was an anomaly that might be of interest.

regards,

Nicholas
