yes I agree on both of those points. I was like wait a minute, the block reward increased? lol and I am seeing those errors too. but I dont know of any other pools that are using the new algo for bitcore.
Look at
https://pool.rplant.xyz/but Nvidia miner is much slower for this pool (My config gives 15 Mh/s at rplant vs. 25 Mh/s at coinspool)
