It's a little confusing to explain - basically, rewards used to pay out of a daily pool (100% of the rewards every day), now they pay out of a monthly pool (3% of the monthly pool each day).

It's the same total payout per day in the end - but the switch lowered rewards for a period of one month. We're about halfway(?) through this reduced payout period.

All you really need to know is - payouts will be a lot higher in a few weeks, and should stay that way.
