deepbit pool need help

[vasvla]

I had strange situation today and tried to PM Tycho, but somehow messages are redirected to some obsolete account...

For one block today my payment was nearly halved and all the time I was mining by proportional method with no significant hashrate changes, no downtime, number of shares follow the proportions for other blocks, just payment is halved... Any help would be appreciated.

Proportional payments vary due to the erratic nature of finding work. For steady payouts choose PPS.

bitcoin mining = luck. that's it. however, with allllll the mining, the probability works out well.

The only variable is time to solve a block, with steady hash rate of my equipment and steady hash rate of the rest of the pool, my proportional part of the pool is the same, nevermind if block lasts 12 minutes or 12 hours. The longer the block is, smaller is the variance between my strength compared to strength of the pool, and that block was pretty long - 20m shares, so it has to be something else...
