Corrected. The formula should be
9542 / 8794745 * 25.079 * 0.98 = 0.0266
But what is the reason of these calculation errors? Manual processing? Pool software should handle this kind of calculation with 100% accuracy.
My best guess is some kind of connectivity issue between the back end pool servers when the shares for a round are being calculated/shared out - slush has addressed it several times and I believe he has made code changes - not only to try and stop it happening - but also to alert him when it does happen - all conjecture of course. Only one man truly knows and like a poster said earlier - he only lurks here now rather than post here. To be honest I don't blame him either - if it's something really important he can use his home page. As soon as he raises his head here all you see is:
1) Hey slush what about namecoins
2) Hey slush my calculation for block xxx is wrong, I only got 0.0000001 BTC and is should have been 0.0000002 - I'm using a 6 core CPU btw...
3) PPS is better than the slush calculation
4) PPLNS is better than the slush calculation
5) What is the slush calculation
6) ad infinitum
