block stays on pending forever instead of being orphaned

[Censseo]

Hello,

Since we start our ergo pool, we got some orphan blocks. But for the most of them, miningcore never reports them as orphan, just staying pending with 0% at confirmation, and with sometime 0 as reward also. For exemple, two blocks mined, one ok, and one orphan but stays pending: { "poolId": "ergo1", "blockHeight": 818254, "networkDifficulty": 349593.68107177434, "status": "confirmed", "confirmationProgress": 1, "effort": 0.0010872191350888827, "transactionConfirmationData": "807f69dcc39b80bc", "reward": 48.002000000000, "infoLink": "https://explorer.ergoplatform.com/en/blocks/44c6f9065cab9a7c4c4b699928bb732ef4ee70b2045c00f7ba72fd7a08dceabf", "hash": "44c6f9065cab9a7c4c4b699928bb732ef4ee70b2045c00f7ba72fd7a08dceabf", "miner": "9fRFe7nEjDu464eZggQ4yY4ugRsp7ZiS6rNNAYWdwhT6nhUHqgh", "created": "2022-08-17T20:15:48.990627Z" }, { "poolId": "ergo1", "blockHeight": 818177, "networkDifficulty": 349593.68107177434, "status": "pending", "confirmationProgress": 0, "effort": 0.006110666537590124, "transactionConfirmationData": "86ba0011f9dd5650", "reward": 48.007534000000, "infoLink": "https://explorer.ergoplatform.com/en/blocks/0b67e7dbe4188059c8d528045343df62f163ebc17d4b3aafe23574dbb0683d8c", "hash": "0b67e7dbe4188059c8d528045343df62f163ebc17d4b3aafe23574dbb0683d8c", "miner": "9iCHMGWegsnQ8AURdVwABrefXta6B5mX3DMyHbS23kC3A6V11qv", "created": "2022-08-17T17:56:16.364445Z" },

Also, I have the feeling that one block at least got never confirmed bu miningcore, but we still got it anyway, so it never get paid (I can see my balance corresponding at fees+one block)

Do you use separate nodes for mining an payout? If so, did you set the mining pub key, the one starting with 88, in your mining nodes config?

I spoke with one of ergo developers and he said the cause of this is delay between my node and other nodes so we must use a highspeed VPS for hosting node but in MC after restarting node shows Orphan.
