Re: [ANN] [BURST] Burst Mining System - A new miner for BurstCoin
BTW how is the uray deadline limiting handled cause from my brief look over at the github it looks like you cant submit things that are lower than your lowest deadline submitted, which while fair from a pool manager perspective the vast majority of other miners are submitting lots of low deadlines that aren't necessarily all lower than their current lowest but regardless of this it positively affects their score. Point being that you should either just slowly scale the threshold or simply use the algo provided by the site to calculate if the share should be uploaded

deadline value from miner is converted into share value using this equation
share = 1000 / ( NetDiff * Deadline + 1 ) 0.75
where NetDiff (network difficulty) is calculated by Block0-BaseTarget / Block#N-BaseTarget
note : to prevent user spamming low share, we implement share penalty of -0.001 on each submission for miners who submit nonce that has higher deadline than their (current round) own best deadline, as spamming low share is no use since pool will always pick one best deadline for every submitted nonce per round.
IE if your value isn't greater than 0.001 it definetly shouldnt be uploaded but something more reasonable would be to simply assume the -0.001 is in effect and not allow shares that would be worth less than 0.01 safely preventing scores from being lowered and slowly increasing the necessary deadline as needed share = 1000 / ( NetDiff * Deadline + 1 ) 0.75
