I'm puzzled by block 337998 found by GHash.IO

I hope the picture works, just looking for some understanding as to why this happened and how it happened.

you should try contacting the support they are really fast about replying

I'd guess their system just glitched and repeated the block over and over for some reason.

Or somehow identical work was sent to multiple identical machines and they all found the same block at once.

I didn't even get rewarded the BTC0.00085705 for the block and it doesn't show as an orphan, I'm just puzzled is all

For some reason this happens every few days or so. On their UI it displays the block as being found like 20+ times, however they obviously only found it the one time.

I didn't audit my earnings closely enough to see if I got credit for that specific found block, however I assume that I did if the block was not orphaned

I have noticed alot of odd things with cex-io lately, I stay in negative sat, and I see blocks being found.  I have 417 gh/s left after selling out.  and there showing a irregular hash, sometimes 800 gh/s, other times 0.
anyone else notice these things happening?
on top of the finding the same block 30 times?

I don't have gh/s through cex.io I just use their pool for my hardware as I know most customers are in negative satoshi no matter how many gh/s they have due to the extortionate fee's they charge.

I'm happy for my hardware to use their pool as it's fee free

If you have invested in cloud mining on cex then you are going to have to pay the maintenance/electric fees to cex which are paid out of each found block. This means that you have the potential to earn a negative reward when a block is found
