Could you tell me what is the time period used for the "24 hour earnings" box at the top ?
I notice the past 2 hours have been good luck, but my 24 hour earnings have fallen in the same interval.
It would also appear that blocks do not appear on the "your recent block rewards" until one subsequent block has been accepted to the blockchain ?
As stated above, the 24 hour earnings at the top is calculated in two ways (depending on payment method):
For PPLNS, it uses the last 24 hours of CLOSED shifts only, since open shifts aren't done getting paid. Think of it as taking your last 32 hours worth of earnings roughly, and then chopping off the open shifts. You get a full 24-hour worth of rewards included in the statistic, it's just related to the mining you did slightly earlier.
For PPS, it uses your share submissions over the last 24 hours multiplied by the current PPS rate. So normally it's dead accurate. The only time it's off is when the difficulty changes, since it uses the *current* PPS rate.
And you're correct, recent block rewards aren't updating until a subsequent block is found. This is temporary, and it's due to that bug when the NMC chain was hardforked and random servers stopped updating to the most recent blockchain. It hasn't repeated itself yet, but I'm wanting to wait another week or two before I turn off the workaround, just to be safe.
