Mining old blocks?

Post by gnikminer » Mon Dec 04, 2017 5:48 pm

Lately, I have been solo mining BitconnectCoin. This morning, my dashboard shows that I found a block. This block also shows to be orphaned. Comparing the time that the block was found to the time that the blockchain shows that this block was added (the block that was not orphaned), it looks like my block was submitted an hour and 15 minutes late... Am I mining old blocks??? Yes, I already compared timezones from shares submitted to the blockchain and made the proper adjustments.

From the shares submitted:
General
Algorithm Scrypt
Primary coin you mined BitConnectcoin
Block number 243928
Target difficulty 131072
Submitted difficulty 35801352756.55742

BitConnectcoin : found block
Submission time 12/4/2017 8:39:27 AM

From the block explorer:
Block 243,928

243928

Block hash 000000000000158491c38c0165d5fed59bdc22b7b740de777acfb358620c850d

Please help me understand what happened. As you can probably imagine, I'm pretty bummed about this, especially with the time differences. I would at least like to know why this happened, so if it is something on my end, I can work to correct it to prevent future occurrences.
