This is a very good idea, because of the different time zones we live. 24 hours is not to much, in this case some really good posts / articles missed the zaps of community if it's posted when server have less activity (night), and in the time zone of author is 10 AM for exemple...
So...rewards for a 36 hours period is great!

it's just a convention to say that background tasks are done by a "worker"

For example, there can be a lot of "workers" in a browser:

> Web Workers are a simple means for web content to run scripts in background threads. The worker thread can perform tasks without interfering with the user interface.

-- developer.mozzila.org, [_Using web workers_](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Using_web_workers)

nice Magic line! 

curious why the folder called worker? are we all bees:)? 🐝 but it's indeed take POW to make honey:)

Not for me though. You got no rewards for anything from yesterday?

>reward items from the last 36 hours

yes, but the problem is it forgot to reward the ones from yesterday:) 🫡 or were they correct for you?
