and the opposite is also true with slush. Someone could be at their full hash rate and working for a long time on a long a block, but if they drop out before the last 1hr and 40 mins or so. Then they get nothing if there scoring hash rate is back down to zero at the time the block is done. No matter how much work was submitted before that last hour and 40 mins it takes to drop to zero hash rate.
Exactly why I left slush. Large power outage like 8 hrs into a 9.5 hour block and I got paid less than 1/1000th of what I was normally getting per block because my "scoring hash rate" was like 20GH/s. I would have made more if I spent that 8 hrs mining the shittiest shitcoin.
