Title: Is there a Fork!!!
Post by: southerngentuk on July 07, 2013, 07:51:38 AM
Ok am a newbie to mining so please be gentle...

Just got my first payout from pool x2

from 2 blocks 20 mins apart.

If you look at the 2 blocks they have identical payment address with slightly variation in payment amounts..

Blocks are sometimes found in quick succession, no "fork" required.  Some pool payment schemes, when they don't have anyone else to pay just become proportional and pay the recent miners.
