Sorry for the question that I am sure has already been asked but I can't find an answer too.
I understand that currently our payouts happen in the following block to avoid fees. I understand that we had two blocks hit back to back over the weekend (498476 and 498508) and they hit to close together to have the latter confirm the former, so they will both be payed out in our next block. My issue is I am seeing the payouts in my wallet. Why/how could that be? What am I missing?
You will see the payouts, at the latest, in our pool's block after they have matured.
The transaction is sent out once the block matures.
However, when I add a transaction fee to the payout, it can be confirmed sooner by another pool - as I usually do lately.
