fix(worker): constrain nonce value to be a whole integer (#1045)

* fix(worker): constrain nonce value to be a whole integer

Closes #1043

Sometimes the worker could get into a strange state where it has a
decimal nonce, but the server assumes that the nonce can only be a whole
number. This patch constrains the nonce to be a whole number on the
worker end by detecting if the nonce is a decimal number and then
truncating away the decimal portion.
