Re: [ANN][RIC] Riecoin, constellations POW *CPU-ONLY* HARD FORK: UPDATE to v0.10.2
Yes, the superblocks will have higher difficulty and the record holder would have the highest, however if more than one of them share the same top difficulty you'll have to decide by comparing the value of the hash of the block's header (in the bit order that is used to generate the base prime), or just compare the base prime for those.
Ok, that should work directly then, I cache the primes in the explorer db, so it should just be a matter of sorting.

Will probably need to tweak stuff once the first super-block happens
Speaking of which, maybe just having the blockheight of the next super-block in the RPC getinfo API could be nice for a count-down.
I could hard-code it in the explorer, but this would be more fragile, and it could be nice to show the countdown in the Qt client as well.
Great work!
I'll do it: it would be helpful to see in the Qt if the superblock is happening, so the user knows that any tx could take a little longer than usual.
