The block was after our block on ALL relays, even in china.
I'll get the details of it worked out in a while ...
Edit: So the details as follows.
The block before was network block 427668 hash 004e5228... at 13:13 UTC
Our block 427668 hash
...00231688... came first on all the relays
Bitfury 427668 hash
...00213d62... came in after
So as usual for an orphan race, the winner is decided by the next block.
Bitfury confirmed their own block, so they won it by luck.
Unfortunately impossible to get around that, we sent out our block, as usual, as fast as possible to all nodes and all over the world, but since they sent out their block slower than us, the only way we could expect to lose would be them confirming their own block ... which is what happened.
