It seems that we have a bug with the Qt version which is weird since sanity checks have been passed on the source and the linux daemon seems to work flawlessly.

We aren't currently mining so I am surprised that some would suggest that we would purposely cause the whole ordeal for a few extra blocks 

I will try to compile a deterministic gitian build and see if the issue persists...

You could try to compile from source yourself, it seems to be build specific problem for some reason.
