harvester. Each signage point is sent along with the `sub_slot_iters` and `difficulty`, two network-wide parameters
which are adjusted every day (4608 blocks). The `sub_slot_iters` is the number of VDF iterations performed in 10
minutes for the fastest VDF in the network. This increases if the fastest timelord's speed increases. The difficulty
is similiarly affected by timelord speed (it goes up when timelord speed increases, since blocks come faster), but
is similarly affected by timelord speed (it goes up when timelord speed increases, since blocks come faster), but
it's also affected by the total amount of space in the network. These two parameters determine how difficult it is
to "win" a block and find a proof.

Since only about 1 farmer worldwide finds a proof every 18.75 seconds, this means the chances of finding one are
extremely small, with the default `difficulty` and `sub_slot_iters`. For pooling, what we do is we increase the
`sub_slot_iters` to a constant, but very high number: 37600000000, and then we decrease the difficulty to an
artificially lower one, so that proofs can be found more frequently.
