I have been posting pretty regularly for the past few weeks and it's always exciting to receive rewards sats and territory revenue at the end of the day. I eagerly await midnight in Austin so I can check and see what got the most attention from stackers and how many sats I earned for the day.
It's a great feeling to stack sats every day but after a few payouts that seemed light, I noticed that I am not receiving the amount of sats that my wallet history says that I am.
I have felt like something has been wrong for a while but after yesterday's payout, my wallet history said that I received like 1500 sats but my wallet balance only went from 69.1k sats up to 69.9k sats. I'm no math professor but I know a thing or two about arithmetic. Something wasn't adding up so I decided to take a closer look and collect some data.
Sure enough. I am not receiving my rewards sats.
Since there's no total balance history after each transaction in the wallet history, the only way for me to prove anything is wrong, I had to get a video to see how my payout would behave today.
I recorded my balance increasing at midnight in Austin. My balance jumped up from 71,084 to 71,094 for about half a second and then jumped up to 72,610. That means that I earned 1,526 sats in rewards + revenue. Awesome. I love stacking sats.
Here's the video or my wallet getting paid.
However, when I opened my wallet history, it tells a completely different story.
Stacker News payment bot seems to think that it paid me a lot more than it actually did. Here's a screenshot.
It says it paid me the following sats...
1516.026 in rewards (Approximately 1404 + 111 as shown as a unique line item in my notifications)
1196.58 in ~Podcasts
48.02 in ~Movies
10.43 in ~Memes
174.86 in ~Videos
All together that totals 2945.916
...But if you watch my video, you can clearly see that I didn't receive that many sats. I only received 1,526. That's a difference of 1419 missing sats and this is not the first time this has happened.
There have been multiple payments well into the thousands of sats that I never received and there's not really a way for me to prove it without doing a complete audit of my wallet all the way back to the Genesis.
Here's multiple rewards payments that I never received.
Does anyone else seem to be having this problem?
Perhaps that brief stop at 71,094 when I was receiving my payment in my video is some sort of glitch and the bot only pays out like 10 sats for my rewards when it should be 1516.026 on a day like today.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as I don't want to be missing out on such substantial payments when I have millions of sats to recoup.
I know that both @k00b and @ek are busy with the launch of Cowboy credits but maybe one of you guys can find the time to look into this a little bit. That would be much appreciated.
