The database pattern for peak hashpower optimization (with frequent updates) is the first suggestion I regarded as technically related. And I've seem similar problem in the different accredit field of applications adapted very successfully. A few case examples for the light headed: Heuristics patterns found in antivirus, Weather forecasting, Automated trading system, Traffic control, Abstract game engines such as Chess, etc.
And guess what - they are all have some probabilistic elements.
But I admit not all my suggestions were technically as challenging but instead either opinionated by words alone (like here) or silenced until when attention deemed necessary (I can play that game too).
I hate asking questions with no relevant answers, or otherwise presented with counterexamples that could have their own solution unrelated or twisted into different form of misconceptions, etc. And that brings back if the problem presented was understood in the first place. It's mind-boggling how the same problem presented earlier categorized as nothing is wrong could later acknowledged to had some valid substance or points. Perhaps that mindset should change with different motivation and environment as in Employer-Employee (carrot & stick metaphor) relationship, higher level of recognition for great achievers as self starter, etc.
Don't call yourself a problem solver (very wide definition here) if you can't tie up the loose ends you created in the first place. Nobody likes hear another vapor passing thru or be interpreted as such.
Again for the second time what good is getting new miners when the superblock can't even make the full use hashpower at its peak (nevermind the records breaking)? Would you agree improving the odd of finding record breakers by having hashpower used at least by 95% is better than 35% all the time? Or do you prefer the current 35% level to climb up at steady rate to reach the current 95% level sometime later and then ask yourself why is it records breaking is so technically tough?
There you are - questions.
