I think something is up with Rascal's mining proxy. Not accusing him of anything, its probably just a bug. Maybe someone more technically minded on coinbase/stratum and other tech can chime in.

Every so often I mine a block worth 45.3333333 here is an example. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/tx.dws?e5a7eb4eae84dd53d78e27f880a40a93b09b41206b4740b2fe9a67207662fc8e.htm

This is the actual block link.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/block.dws?410814.htm

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Around superblocks the reward is diminished a bit, and the coins instead go to whoever finds the superblock (which has a higher difficulty). The idea being that this does not change the number of RIC that will be generated, while allowing (and giving an incentive) to find higher prime constellations.

In case of block 410814, the corresponding superblock is 410832, which ranked #2 in the hall of fame: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ric/halloffame.dws

Urp - I've fallen behind on time to be able to do the code integration for stratum. I apologize. If someone wants to fork the miner and do it, you've got my blessing... I still hope to do it if nobody else can, but I've got a bunch of day job things between.

don't worry, I read some people had problems compiling my fork so I'll review that and try to generate all the binaries.

Anything new this week Gatra?

This is the final implementation that I have for the superblocks:
Difficulty adjustments were performed every 288 blocks which should take 12 hs, so once every 14 adjustments (ie once a week) we will have a special interval. In these special intervals the difficulty will be adjusted a little bit down for all blocks except one which will be the superblock. The expected behavior is that 287 blocks will be shorter (136 seconds instead of 150), lending 14 seconds each to the superblock which will in total accumulate almost 70 minutes. This is the most elegant solution I could find since every interval will still have 288 blocks and be targeted to last 12hs.
So, if in a few days you get blocks with a reward of 45,33333333 instead of 50, then it is expected behavior. Don't complain: your block had less reward because it was easier to find, it's still fair. And if you get a block with 1389,33333333 RIC, then congratulations: you solved the superblock.

This is implemented, under testing, and working fine so far. Now what remains is to decide the block number for the hard fork (around 135000?), generating all the binaries and issuing alerts for everyone to upgrade.

Yeah, this is info buried in the thread, quoted above.
