const CutThroughHorizon uint32 = uint32(WeekHeight)

CutThroughHorizon is the Default number of blocks in the past when cross-block cut-through will start happening. Needs to be long enough to not overlap with a long reorg. Rational behind the value is the longest bitcoin fork was about 30 blocks, so 5h. We add an order of magnitude to be safe and round to 7x24h of blocks to make it easier to reason about.

const DayHeight uint64 = 24 * HourHeight

DayHeight is 1440 blocks

const DefaultMinEdgeBits uint8 = 31

DefaultMinEdgeBits is the default Cuckatoo Cycle edge_bits, used for mining and validating.

const InitialDifficulty uint64 = 1000000 * UnitDifficulty

InitialDifficulty is the initial difficulty at launch. This should be over-estimated and difficulty should come down at launch rather than up Currently grossly over-estimated at 10% of current ethereum GPUs (assuming 1GPU can solve a block at diff 1 in one block interval)

const MaxBlockWeight int = 40000

MaxBlockWeight is the total maximum block weight. At current sizes, this means a maximum theoretical size of: * `(674 + 33 + 1) * (40_000 / 21) = 1_348_571` for a block with only outputs * `(1 + 8 + 8 + 33 + 64) * (40_000 / 3) = 1_520_000` for a block with only kernels * `(1 + 33) * 40_000 = 1_360_000` for a block with only inputs

Regardless of the relative numbers of inputs/outputs/kernels in a block the maximum block size is around 1.5MB For a block full of "average" txs (2 inputs, 2 outputs, 1 kernel) we have - `(1 * 2) + (21 * 2) + (3 * 1) = 47` (weight per tx) `40_000 / 47 = 851` (txs per block)
