How deadline sent by client is validated
-
Sorry if this not the right forum to answer.
The deadlines are sent across to pool server by individual clients. How does the pool server validate if the deadline sent is valid. For instance a client may always send a deadline of 1second to win every round(This is definitely not the case and for sure there is a mechanism to validate it)
Can you please help me understand how server validates the deadline sent by client
Thanks in advance

@tpriyan The client checks deadlines by running an algorithm on the nonces, when it finds one it submit's it to the server, which runs the same algorithm to validate the nonce. You're not sending the deadline you found, your sending the nonce that found that deadline, so the server doesn't have to take your word you found a 1 second DL, it computes it from the nonce you submit.

@haitch That makes sense now :) Thanks a lot!
