Thoughts on an adjusted version of this:

Every time we find a block: 1. Rewards for recently matured (unpaid) blocks are released, 2. You earn rewards for your accepted shares for a certain amount up to when the block was found.

I also thought it's a good time to send a reminder plug for Zach's monitor.
All newbies should take a look at it for a different perspective for kano.is published stats and as a supplemental tool as mentioned in the OP.
