estimated number of blocks lower than current number of blocks... normal?

[gort]

looking at the debug windows its currently showing me

Current number of blocks  103216

is this normal?

I think its normal. I looked into a few other different wallets and found my Redcoin client showing also different numbers.

Redcoin client
Current number of blocks 169248
Estimated total blocks 150657


But maybe some Goldcoin DEV could clear things up.

The "Estimated total blocks"  may be based on the last checkpoint.  I can try to provide a better answer later today.

thanks i was just wondering if something was wrong... as i have not had a single block found for the most of the day but i found 3 with 100% rejection earlier in the day.

maybe its just because the diff is going up now.

The estimated number of blocks will be taken from the most common block count from the connected peers.  In cases of no network connectivity, it will be based on the most recent checkpoint.

Given these two possibilities, it is likely that the estimated block count could be lower than the "current number of blocks" from time to time.
