Lately, I have been solo mining BitconnectCoin. This morning, my dashboard shows that I found a block. This block also shows to be orphaned. Comparing the time that the block was found to the time that the blockchain shows that this block was added (the block that was not orphaned), it looks like my block was submitted an hour and 15 minutes late... Am I mining old blocks??? Yes, I already compared timezones from shares submitted to the blockchain and made the proper adjustments.
From the shares submitted:

Please help me understand what happened. As you can probably imagine, I'm pretty bummed about this, especially with the time differences. I would at least like to know why this happened, so if it is something on my end, I can work to correct it to prevent future occurrences.
Mining old blocks?
