I’ve updated the scoring of the proposer payment to block level scoring as discussed in [Block scoring for mev-boost relays](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/block-scoring-for-mev-boost-relays/202#h-1-block-level-scoring-3).

This now seems the easier, cheaper, and more forward-looking option. I’m aware this brings challenges to Lido and maybe some other node operators, so we have to continue building on top of it to come with a solution that is satisfactory for everybody.
