Ok. I am really angry then i give some advice becouse you statistically blowing up a payout script once a week and we (node operators loose money)
I work in IT department few years as a network/system admin so maybe this will be helpful for you:

1) If something work properly dont try to "fix" it
2) Don't make any changes in working system in production environment. Do it on testnet or other test environment
3) If you don't know what are you doing, don't touch it becouse in 99% you will broke it.
4) If you broke something, inform your users about that.

So guys please don't touch this damn payout script and stop blowing it up. We all want our HZ for supporting network. This situation is really frustrating for us and unprofessional. I loose my money for renting servers, for IP assignment and loose my time to upgrade nodes to newest hz release so i expect it working.
