Create top miners endpoint

[janmichek]

• fixed list of:
  { hash: 'ak_wM8yFU8eSETXU7VSN48HMDmevGoCMiuveQZgkPuRn1nTiRqyv', name: 'WoolyPooly' },
  { hash: 'ak_dArxCkAsk1mZB1L9CX3cdz1GDN4hN84L3Q8dMLHN4v8cU85TF', name: '2miners' },
  { hash: 'ak_9MsbDuBTtKegKpj5uSxfPwmJ4YiN6bBdtXici682DgPk8ycpM', name: '2miners.solo' },

• fixed time window of 24h

• blocks mined count per entry

• reference https://www.aeknow.org/miner

• data will be used for table and chart in aescan as in reference

@yaboiishere I am afraid the result is something else that I requested.

This seems like grouped by time (day), which is not the same as 24hour window. Right?

Won't thss work as well? Im cautious of implementing something like that for the actual last 24 hours since that would require going over all data points and summing it up. We would prefer not doing that since if there are too many records it will result into having slow endpoints that might even timeout (an example of this is the bug that appeared in the testnet for the stats endpoint, where because of that reason it timed out).

Also we do actually know how many blocks can happen in a day for the mainnet/testnet, but implementing this would be a problem for hyperchains since there you can configure way more blocks than that, which would make the endpoint slow/unresponsive

Yeah, so what can I do... I am developer, not a manager. I have been waiting for over 3 months for rejecting message. Nevermind I will code it on frontend. I think its simple, just complicated to achieve with paginated response, but I will hack it somehow.

I've given it more thought over the weekend and I've realised that hyperchains don't have miners they have validators, so the problem I had with implementing this the way you want now should be possible without slowing down the hc. This endpoint would only be available to parent chains though (i.e. PoW ones)

Ok, good. So when could you deliver it?
