Error with incorrect coins
Today, Chris released some new code that records the difference between the actual coins earned by miners and the target coins they want to earn. These numbers are often different due to coins being in error, and we want to figure out how different they are. The release was successful and the data is being recorded. In the next month, Constance will add a website feature to allow customers to view the data that is now in the database.
During the release, customers who had requested bitcoins earned litecoins, because bitcoins were considered to be in error while the release occurred. We apologize for the problem. Chris will correct the balances so that people who earned litecoins unintentionally will be credited bitcoins instead.
Because the price of litecoins increased dramatically during the period when the issue was present, customers who were affected by this error will receive between 10% and 20% more profit today, because the accidental purchase of litecoins resulted in the wrong coin being held during the litecoin price increase.
