12 hours is 3600 blocks, not 4320. (3600 * 12 / 60 / 60) = 12. |

Currently, the incumbent model is too difficult to dethrone with a permanent 1% advantage. In fact, most of the models from 2-4 are much better, just not 1% better. This PR improves the competitiveness of subnet 6 by decaying the advantage of older submissions; after some configurable amount of blocks, and decayed over some configurable amount of blocks to a configurable minimum advantage (set to 0.00001 or 0.001% in this PR).
This PR gives older models, when comparing, the 1% advantage for approximately the first 12 hours, then decays that advantage linearly over hours 12-24h. This still allows people to keep all their advantage against duplicate submissions for the first day, but improves the competitive landscape from a permanent incumbent advantage.
