Masternode missed payment

All my Masternodes are up to protocol version 70051
- smallest distance of payments: 184 blocks
- longest distance for payments: 2440 blocks

Another update: 184 (and a 274 in between) and 3061 blocks with 1153 Masternodes online.

Things start to become interesting.
 
After having some issues with masternode payments, my 2 nodes have gotten paid 2 times each in past 2 days. The updates probably helped this and knocked off those who weren't updated.
 
I hope problem is resolved.

Payment after 3773 blocks (nice number) on all-time working and up-to-date MN.
 
I got a double payment (four hours apart) just an hour ago.

The round robin only starts when the reference node actually starts. It doesn't have a persistent history, so dup payments are likely for the first 24-48 hours each time I upgrade it (which happened this morning, again). I'd fix it, but I want to get rid of the reference node anyway.

Patrick was mentioning ideas about how to do without them, any ideas if it's plausible in the near term or still other things ahead of schedule? I'd imagine at this point, it will be more of splitting tasks for feature implementation, no?
 
I got 1.5 payment yesterday and about 23 hours later I just got 1.79 payment :)
 
Also, I tried to fix masternode by "masternode stop" and "masternode start". Was it bad idea?

4160 blocks without payment. Maybe this Masternode only accepts cheques?


Edit: after 4419 blocks the cheque finally arrived. New world record...

My second masternode had no payments yet, so I decided to reinstall it. It worked under send-many command and after last update I moved it to dedicated wallet, but I copied datadir instead of downloading it from peers. Also, I used the same privkey and didn't create zero-address. So, maybe reinstallation will help. I'll post about results later.

my MN missed payments

nov 13-20 = 7 days.
de 6-10 = 4 days

total of 11 days missed can someone please explain this thanks.
 
And now I have a node that hasn't been paid in ~2300 blocks after getting paid twice regularly. Something is clearly not right.

That's still within the specification, because Evan said in the posting above that the payment reference node does NOT persist the payment history.

Worst possible case:

  • lets say we have 1400 Masternodes. Normally you would get paied (worst case) after 1400 blocks
  • Evan has (for whatever reason) to restart the node when we're at block 1399, so you did NOT get our payment.
  • Lets again assume the worst case would be that your Masternode is the last one in the list.
  • that makes 1399 + 1400 = 2799 blocks
Of course if Evan has to start the node even more often things become really bad, see my example with 4419 blocks.

That's one of the reasons the payment reference node is only a temporary solution and we want to get rid of it.
