I have a unconfirmed doge balance of about 400. Something is wrong. Either we found too small of block or payouts are wrong. With the small pool hash and large doge blocks it should be thousands
What the hell it went down even more after it got confirmed. Where are the coins going?
The last dogecoin block we found was indeed very small -- only 193,881 of a possible 1,000,000.

But that begs another question... As it was pointed out earlier, the profitability algorithm knows the doge block reward in advance, so how did it ever determine that mining a block with such a low reward was the most profitable option at the time?
I was a bit curious about this as well. Why wouldn't we (or anyone) just mine the most rewarding block...or just discard less profitable ones?
