Title: Find out max supply just from github source code Post by: fratrad on January 30, 2019, 10:24:10 AM Hi, is there a way how I can find out the max supply of on altcoin (SHA256) just from searching in the source code?
https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit Thanks in advance Title: Re: Find out max supply just from github source code Post by: mocacinno on January 30, 2019, 10:30:22 AM https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/chainparams.cpp#L73
Halving interval = each 210.000 blocks https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/chainparams.cpp#L81 Average time between 2 blocks = 60* 10 seconds (10 minutes) https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/main.cpp#L1729 subsidy = 500 coins The rest should be simple math... You start with a block reward of 500, the average time between blocks should be ~10 minutes and the block reward halves every 210.000 blocks. Hint: bitcoin has a max supply of 21.000.000 BTC (slightly less), and started with a block reward of 50 BTC ;) It also halves every 210.000 blocks and has an average time between blocks of 10 minutes Last but least, this line is also interesting: https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/main.cpp#L1726 It tells you how many halvings before the subsidy will return 0 (even if the subsidy is > 0 at that time) :) Title: Re: Find out max supply just from github source code Post by: fratrad on January 31, 2019, 11:03:35 AM https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/chainparams.cpp#L73 Halving interval = each 210.000 blocks https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/chainparams.cpp#L81 Average time between 2 blocks = 60* 10 seconds (10 minutes) https://github.com/Infernoman/C-Bit/blob/73bc5652564d344af6847eefde6d386225d4ad02/src/main.cpp#L1729 subsidy = 500 coins The rest should be simple math...
