Can't help but upvoting your sarcasm. You cannot imagine my frustration after leaving no stone unturned throughout the past ten hours. *sad panda*

Latency from the pool to the daemons is < 0.2ms. The daemons have > 35 P2P connections to other nodes. I'd be surprised if its a latency issue. Nonetheless, 5 in a row shouldn't happen given that the pool never had a single orphan throughout its history.

Been working the last twelve hours on it.

Be advised that I'm working around the clock figuring out what caused so many blocks to become orphaned.

What the hell has Nicehash to do with any of this? 

No. Nothing.

I did not physically turn off/on the servers but I've restarted the daemons and the pool multiple times. Its puzzling.

Jaccob: Totally understandable.

You shouldn't have to do anything as payments go out automatically once the threshold is reached. Like Happy said, what's your wallet address?

Do I come to your house and tell people to leave?
