Title: Calculate total coins at height
Post by: tcatm on April 05, 2011, 07:41:50 PM

Hey,

here's some code that calculates the total number of bitcoins generated at a certain height:

Code:

def t(h):
    return (sum([21e4*int(50e8/2**k) for k in xrange(int((h+1)/21e4))])+int(50e8/2**(int((h+1)/21e4)))*((h+1)-(int((h+1)/21e4))*21e4))/1e8

Very clever... :-X
