Hey everyone. Look out for round 17979. It maybe another round in which people get stilted on their earnings. I have a new theory about it. It started when I was watching my account page. I saw the estimated reward drop from a typical .003 or so to .00000001. Then over the course of 30 minutes it eked up to .00000007, then .00000015, .00000240, and get close to my usual. What was going on at the time, however, was the total score for the round had not reset in a good 15-20 blocks. I'm not sure yet how often the total score resets but it was a 14-digit number starting in 5 before the fever broke. Some people last time thought it was stratum backing up and not properly reporting shares but it's this danged "hop-proof" mechanic Slush employs! I've got a thing or two to say about that in general, but I think I may have found the bug.
