Title: How many new coins needs to be bought per day for flatline?
Post by: davidpbrown on May 07, 2013, 05:41:41 PM
How many of each flavour of coin are currently being produced each day?
=How many need to be bought for the price to be stable?

Are some coin fluxing with miners dipping in and out?

What does 'Difficulty' really suggest? I've yet to find a simple suggestion of numbers of coins expected over time, other than for BTC which I think is graphed on some wiki. Do we know the halving days of each coin??

In main.cpp search for subsidy.

You'll find it in the routine that decides the halvings and so on.

Thanks!

> // Subsidy is cut in half every 210000 blocks, which will occur approximately every 4 years

^ that's BTC

Not entirely sure which day that is but it's close enough.

http://www.coinchoose.com/ for how many coins are currently generated per day (as a target). You will have to multiply the reward column with number of blocks per day also to get the daily average generated.

https://vircurex.com/welcome/index?locale=en On the bottom here you can see the hashrate for the different coins, that just tells you how much computing power now are engaged in mining. You can only compare coins with similar block chain algorithm in this way (for relative market value the newly mined coins).
