For eg: Block 5500 [https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks/0000000251f5a224e87afbe0ac5dda39bd4f097c2465df08e8cc7f3ff935610d](https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks/0000000251f5a224e87afbe0ac5dda39bd4f097c2465df08e8cc7f3ff935610d)

t1KHa9CJeCy3b9rUX2BhqkFJXSxSSrhM7LJ 2.75088652 ZEC t3Vz22vK5z2LcKEdg16Yv4FFneEL1zg9ojd 0.6875 ZEC

The founder’s reward appears to be correct but shouldn’t the miner’s portion only be 2.75?

Interesting… Block 5765 [https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks/000000024df3ef0496c2b8b4a03e90e9593660d69f48995cd0d6a14520d336b0](https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks/000000024df3ef0496c2b8b4a03e90e9593660d69f48995cd0d6a14520d336b0) shows the rewards I would expect - 2.8825 ZEC & 0.720625 ZEC

Aaand back out of step again…

I believe the miner’s reward for block 5794 should be 2.897 but it’s shown as 2.89738952

Pretty sure that’s consistent with network state, unless there’s some issue with the RPC call.

Are you sure these aren’t just transaction fees @Voluntary?
