Holy Sh**t
I actually looked at my reward for last block...

26.31THs 0.00699728
last block january i got for 26.46THs 0.01220075
okay the block in january was 15.06 BTC.
But man...nearly cutting the reward in half in 2 weeks??
Did I miss something?
The pool hash rate basically doubled - so that's the big difference.
Block 505456 we were at 32.68PHs, this last one we were at 46.80PHs.
Bigger hash rate plus smaller block, plus more big players = smaller reward.
but with the hopes for more frequent blocks. It's the trade off. Need a larger pool size (combined hash rate) means everyones profit per share is lower due to dilution, but with the promise or more frequent blocks.
