Read time of plots
-
Hi,
Do read time of plots matter in mining.
Lets say we have 2 miners X,Y
X has faster harddisk, Y has slower hard disk
X submits a deadline of 1 min (After reading harddisk 5 seconds)
Y submits a deadline of 30 seconds(After reading harddisk for 30 seconds)So Y gets preference over X(Even though Y reported the deadline later than X), or I am totally wrong here on my understanding
What is the maximum time a miner can take to report a deadline. I have read somewhere its 2.5 minutes, but think the pool accepts even if the submission happens after this time
Thanks in advance

If i can deliver a deadline of 39sec after 1s ... the round will be over, before you can commit your 15s deadline after 1min. The average blocktime is 4min.
Check http://burstcoin.biz/charts/average-block-generation-time, it is not up to-date but should give you a picture. You can commit as long as block takes.
