Hi,

Can you see what's going on?
It is still the same round, my proportion contributed is in line with what it was before reboot.
Total difficulty and block difficulty similar, but block reward is 2.39 vs 6.36 what it was last night.

Thanks

We're not aware of the block reward being 6.36 last night. Could you clarify the exact time, down to the second if possible, when you saw that?

6 PM PST was still around there. I did not take screenshot, but took one half day prior so yesterday morning.

The block rewards has been 6.36988694 Ethereum for PPLNS for the past 2 weeks at least.

Until three days ago, the block rewards were around what you suggested. However, transaction fees on the Ethereum network recently fell dramatically, which is also why we reduced the payout thresholds for ERC-20 tokens.

I looked at the database and unfortunately, I'm not finding a time yesterday evening when the transaction fees were that high. Therefore, the earnings were accurate. If someone else can take a screenshot of the next time that issue happens, perhaps there is a mismatch between what the database is recording and what is being published as live data.
