send blockheight together with nonce params to pool #34

Open spebern opened 6 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to send the "blockheight" together with the other nonce parameters to the pool? It happens that on fast blocks the block heights of miner and pool can be out of sync which leads to huge deadlines on the side of the pool. Without a deadline limit it's impossible for the pool to evaluate if that might have been a nonce submitted on the previous block.

On pools estimating the miner's plot size based on their deadlines this can lead to problems. Creepminer already adds a parameter "blockheight" for this.

Thanks!

As a pool owner whose pool uses average deadlines for payouts, I second this request. It is an ongoing problem to the point I have to run a seperate script to purge bad DLs from the database.
