    So I was looking into this and I think it is a consequence of how DGM builds up the score.  My prop differential is lower than usual as well, but I had a lot of downtime yesterday (internet went out for 7 hours), so I attributed it to that. 

    However, what appears to have happened to some people, especially those with lower hashrates, is with the huge jump in hashrate (200+ GH/s) on this one block, it skews the prop differential because there were so many more shares submitted than "expected" (I know Meni is probably cringing at my use of that word) for this particular block that your prop differential shows lower. 

    As your DGM score capacitor increases, it should tend back the other way over the next 7 blocks or so... although I'm not 100% positive that's how the math plays out.  It may be it will tend back out if/when the hashrate drops and/or you stop mining.  Perhaps Meni can clarify what happens to the equation during a block like this where the hashrate basically doubles halfway through, with many people already at equilibrium.

    Math Man - what is your user name and hashrate?

    This block paid out just under 51 BTC across all participants (which is about where I would expect it for a block of this length), so nothing just went "poof" to a bug or anything.

    I will monitor Cyb and Math Mans accounts over the next few blocks to see what happens.  Does anyone else have an unusual payout prop differential and if so how much?  Please also include your hashrate.  I suspect it will be more pronounced the lower the hashrate because the share differential will be larger compared to your submitted shares the less shares you submitted in this block.


    If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.
