In the white paper as in most other sources, ε is defined as the probability that the random walk continues. In the Incremental PageRank paper where I believe the formula that I changed is taken from, the definition is the other way around. There the rank is defined as W_x * ε / nR which has to be translated into W_x * (1-ε) / nR for osrank.
