@ck, I am a little confused. Not complaining, just trying to understand.

I've changed my mining address around a bit, and for the first time noticed one of my older addresses was deferred.

However, it shows in the top 100 and I thought that the top 100 miners would be paid, and 50 of the smaller deferred payments as well.

33V..Jo8 in position 26 was paid
1Q3..MHD in position 90 was paid
1N9..Ype in position 77 was deferred

So does the worker listing shift around after a block is paid and that is why 1N9 now shows in the top 100 and did not receive a payout from this last block?

If you're in a deferred position when a block is found, the HERP is added to the next round - and it can effectively double the herp by doing so. If you are in the top 100 with the added herp the next time around you're guaranteed to get paid. If not, you will be in the interleaved group.

All of this shows you are much better off sticking to the one address. You'll get paid more regularly and are more likely to get the full payout with each block find. Additionally it means other miners get a look in sooner so it is nice manners to do so.
