Remove the Pusar Miner in FAQ #185

Pulsar Miner is using Python 2.7 and Presto is using Python >= 3.7. It's a little confusing as I tried to use Pulsar Miner and installed Python 2.7, but find out it's a total waste of time.

I certainly don't want to remove Pulsar Miner from the FAQ. Because it is being used by quite a few people and finding pulsars (you can always install an earlier version of PRESTO). But much better would be to help @alex88ridolfi port Pulsar Miner to Python3+! That's not hard to do at all, and would probably be appreciated.

Hi @joezhouchenye and @scottransom . PULSAR_MINER has already been ported to Python 3 and is compatible with PRESTO 3+!
Just, I haven't released it publicly because I wanted to also include a number of new functionalities (currently under test) with the overhauled version.
Given that it's taking much more time than I was expecting (sorry!), I'll release the Python3 version now, and add the new functionalities in the next release.
I'll keep you posted!

Great news! I did 30min of work on PULSAR_MINER this morning and almost have it working in Python3 myself!

Hi @joezhouchenye and @scottransom . I have just pushed PULSAR_MINER 2.0-beta with support to Python3 and PRESTO 3+:
https://github.com/alex88ridolfi/PULSAR_MINER
Even if I call it "beta", I have been using it for months and it should be very stable.
However, if you encounter any issues, please point them out to me.

Cheers,
Alessandro
