Technical description
Previously the work a block contributed to the blockchain was determined by the difficulty of the algorithm used to solve the block.
This gave higher difficulty algorithms (like SHA) an advantage over lower difficulty algorithms in certain cases.
This change implements algorithm weightings to normalise the work a block contributes to the block-chain across all the algorithms.
The weightings for each algorithm is based on the work required to calculate a specific hash algorithm.
Special thanks for Gatra for his input.
Nice, MYR continuing the innovation. Glad Gatra is involved too, this project continues to attract many of the brightest brains in the scene.
