bug: lack of randomness expected in the network

I started 24 nodes within a couple of hours of the reset announcement and they all look find since, though shunning is higher than previously.

I observe the same apparently non-random activity in terms of earnings though. Yesterday one node earned 10 nanos. Overnight, the same node has earned twice more, now a total of 30 nanos.

The chances of this being random are negligible, which appears to signify a problem.

I've been observing and reporting this apparent non-randomness in perhaps the address space or distribution of records for months and not yet had an explanation, so it appears to be an unacknowledged bug.

Here's the status just now. During the previous test cycle I was running a similar number of nodes and eventually about half of them earned, but one had way more than all the others so again it doesn't look statistically random.

ok it could be a statistical outlier, non? being only 4.16% of the node population, imo time will tell.., if it keeps happening daily without interruption between days over say a week then you are likely correct.
