why block subsidy go down to 11k and then go back to 17k today?



The subsidy is linked to the block difficulty.


Nobody is talking (again) about the lack of found blocks. The average is 9.6 minutes instead of the intended 7 minutes, that is, around 150 blocks are found per day instead of ~205.

Here are the stats for the previous 7 days:

Sep 11: 7026-7201 (175)
Sep 12: 7202-7354 (152)
Sep 13: 7355-7503 (148)
Sep 14: 7504-7654 (150)
Sep 15: 7655-7805 (150)
Sep 16: 7806-7952 (146)
Sep 17: 7953-8105 (152)

So there was a noticable increase shortly after the F7000 (although still not enough), but then it went back to the slower block time.

I speculate this issue is closely related to a lot of other issues, so when one of the other issues is fixed, this may be fixed with it, or vice versa.

Do you think this could have something to do with the block difficulties?  One of the blocks was 8000 difficulty and a couple 6000.  The other thing is that I have noticed is that over the weekend (according to the about page on the pool) the pool load was less than 9%,  and then there was a lot of down time on the pool.  Maybe it played a role.

I have a question for you clever people.  I have noticed that no matter how my hashes per second reflects on the pool, my rewards stay more or less the same.  So on 2500 hashes i get the same amount as 5000 hashes. Same amount of threads of course. Any ideas?
