My computer is mining monero with monerod daemon pointing to my monero wallet, and I found in the logs some messages like this one:
[timestamp] BLOCK ADDED AS ALTERNATIVE ON HEIGHT 1382864
I thought my miner had found a block but there is nothing new in my monero wallet. Please explain the meaning of this log message and how does it looks like when the miner find a block and add some monero in my account. Thank you.
That means the blockchain had a re-org because 2 blocks were found at almost the same time by 2 different miners. The one with bigger difficulty came later and pushed the other one out.
