This is an ongoing PR disaster, for at least 4 weeks.
One of the core functionalities of Gridcoin is NOT working reliabily

I've now added a section:

in short:

WCG + SETI offline may have played a role, but
it seems more the CENTRALIZED and NOT OPENSOURCED harvest server made trouble (we are still waiting for an official dev statement)

some people were not so happy about this "PR diaster", so let me quote also others:

"As for the Superblock issue, I hope, we get this fixed, because instable SB's or missing projects is obviously not really the best publicity we can get." (here)
if wished, I could add also some quotes by the "normal users" who experienced these all and gave comments at different places ? to illustrate different viewpoints by "the public"

Also, to mention now also some other effects of the magnitude zero/delayed superblocks:

influence on polls: main dev Rob: "I do see that mag votes done during a bad superblock should be invalidated" (see more comments in bugtracker)
"I know you could run into issues with hitting that 14-day limit on owed GRC," (here)
effects of long SB creation times: 'e.g. newcomers to Gridcoin currently can not get rewarded or rewarded fairly (since their magnitude builds up at begin). The fair rewarding is also important, b/c people can just sit on their "free" magnitude which holds longer' (see section: "Why is this important?" here); also: "when the superblock was stuck , i exploited going off the whitelist and cruched other shit since i know my stats wouldnt be effected"
