Can someone explain this to me. This is copy pasted from https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/.

In line 20955, block number 271612 I have a zero payout, but I also obviously mined the block before for over 6 hours, that one for over 4 hours, and the one thereafter for 2 hours.

Why is this block paid at zero? I emailed info@bitcoin.cz already 2 days ago. Ive had no response.

This concerns me because I'm  providing shares to the pool and someone somehow is getting a payout for this block, I checked it on block chain, it was certainly mined by slushes pool.

What am I missing here?
On the 20955 round you provided significantly less shares than the other rounds, It it likely this happened all towards the end of the round because later shares are weighted more, this prevents pool-hopping. You actually missed out on the beginning of the 20956 round as well. Your ratios as far as (submitted shares/all shares) are as follows:
Round#:   Ratio:
20957   96.8e-6
20956   77.5e-6
20955   29.4e-6
20954   98.9e-6

But basically you missed so many submissions towards the end you were rounded down to zero by the pool hopping mechanic. The only way to earn shares in Slushes is to be there when the round completes by a fair margin.
