Don't shares reset after block?

I mean, I know previous round shares can get counted in PPLNS.   But doesn't the share count usually reset for the dashboard?

You are correct. Share counts reset after a round but that only happens if it was a round with effort >= 100%. The round for the first Verge-Lyra block was extremely short (< 10%) that's why shares appear as mostly unmodified. It's also the reason why payments for that block went out in two batches. The first wave was quite low because there were not enough shares to distribute the full block reward to miners. That's why I've manually adjusted miner balances to distribute the remaining block reward which triggered the second wave of payments.

Regarding your initial post: Blocks normally appear right after they've been found. The situation with both Verg Pools is currently the following: Blocks are found but they pool is unable to confirm that they've been actually accepted by the Node after submission due to one remaining problem I'm currently working on which is a difference between the block hash the pool computes to confirm the block vs. the block hash that's recorded on the block chain. The result is that I'm currently manually inserting found blocks into the database. Logging is in place that should reveal the correct block hash solution when the next block is found.

Thanks for the response.  That clears up some things.

Found the remaining puzzle piece.

I was wondering about this, Gernerally immediately  after a monero block is found, i have about between 1/3 and half the shares i do up to between 7 and  14 days later. What's with that?
