Currently the rule below is placing NN of good standing at risk due to the geographic handicaps leading to a skewed distribution of notarizations.

v. Reach at least 33% of your region’s best monthly NN notarization score. This is checked on the first day of each month, beginning one month after the new NN season has begun.

One option to smooth out the distribution would be to reintroduce a scoring component for mining, which is a good indicator of uptime (though this might promote overmining, if it does we might be able to address that in another rule tweak).

With reference to #189 a resolution is required to re-align the NN Bible, and in accordance with https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/dPoW/blob/master/doc/bible.md#polls-and-voting here we go.

Process as follows -

• 7 days from time of this post (i.e. at 8AM UTC, 10th Aug), submission of suggested options for amendment ends, and voting period begins.
• Voting takes place via a signed message using your Third Party KMD key (see https://developers.komodoplatform.com/basic-docs/smart-chains/smart-chain-api/wallet.html#signmessage), posted to this thread.
• At 8AM UTC, 3rd of Sept 2020 voting will close, and a PR to enact the amendment will be merged.

Please try and be as precise as possible in your submissions, to avoid any room for misinterpretation (and if you notice how something listed might be misinterpreted, point it out so we can write it better).

Options (will be updated as submitted)

1. Do nothing (to clarify, this means no changes made to bible)
2. Apply an Uptime score 0.5 for each hour in which a NN registers a notarization (0.25 per node 3P/main)
3. Reach at least 40% of your region’s median score.
4. Apply 1 point per easy-mined block mined to NN score (excluding external hashrate), up to 17 points per day maximum.
5. A combination of options 3 and 4 (requested by Strob in Discord)
