Hello -
Does the number of Tip (diff) matter when attempting to mint a block? Does it need to be green 
in order to not miss it, or is it OK if it is sometimes 
or 
before it catches back up to 1…?
Hello,
No problem, it’s normal; I have the same behavior and I never lost a block;
Cheers,

I beliefe it depends on how long one runs out of sync. Taking a look on my Metrics I had a 5 Minutes on 21.2.2021 at 21:45 - 21:50 timeframe where no new tip was arriving at my Node (see screenshot below).
So I’m wondering if this is still OK or already would be a problem? And if it is a problem what can I do about it? My assumption now is that my latency primarely depends on the Peers I’m connecting to.
Adding another relay with a different set of peers might decrease the chance of running into such a scenario. Or was there just no new Block generated in the according timeframe?
Absolute Slot Height: 22377550
Can anyone take a look if you also had a similar delay between Slot 22377550 and 22377925.
If yes, maybe it just took a while until a new block was produced?
Good, so it’s not an issue of my node, rather of the one who was meant to produce a block.
Or what is your interpretation of it @Alexd1985 ?
I think the issue could be ur first remark;
Cheers,
