Closing this PR as it turns out to be a bad idea.

@overmeulen thank you for the report. I have opened this PR to address the bug: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/12762

This is great. So it looks like I could potentially use the same approach that was taken for Mordor, I'll look at the ins and outs of it.

It's getting better. The difficulty calculations are still failing: ``` WARN [05-16|00:07:23.579] Synchronisation failed, dropping peer peer=0cf4136259a482a1 err="retrieved hash chain is invalid: invalid difficulty: have 995780460544, want 997313216512" ``` You...

OK, I fixed the difficulty algorithm issues. I managed to run geth and import blocks from astor 🎉

Congratulations, and welcome to the close circle of ATH 🐳 Confirmed mining with an external GPU miner works for me and for miners helping run the network.
