it will come, slowly maybe a week or 6 days

Less than that. 5 blocks were mined today with only 13 left. Big fish are trying to catch the little fish sleeping. I think tomorrow but it will be close.

Just a reminder -- coinotron will be switching Freicoin over to 100% stratum protocol in 2 blocks @ 28325.

If you are mining on Coinotron getwork pool make sure to follow these instructions:

Quote

Freicoin getwork pool will be closed at block 28325.
Please switch your miners to Coinotron FRC stratum pool at port 3336

You can use any miner supporting Stratum protocol.

Example:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3336 -u workername -p password

2-3block/day going Smiley

it's okay, the switch is inevitable and after that frc will be, imo, higher profitability to mine over anything else.  Smiley

Lobbyists don't do what many people assume they do.

A good lobbyist does not work in ways that are outwardly immoral or illegal.

They are masters of explaining to congressmen how a certain situation is unfair. They appeal to a congressmen's idealism to sometimes persuade them to do the right thing. The argument is always framed so that the desired action is the right and fair thing to do. Through certain manipulations sometimes this system is abused, but the driving force of it remains idealism and not corruption. I hope the foundation is successful because there appears to be a lot of unfairness in government's handling of MtGox up until now.

I've lost my trust in FreiCoin.
This coin is dead for me.

Okay, but that's probably a mistake.

How long it would take for difficulty to retarget from 1 to 1+ million or the opposite case?

Bitcoin Megastore, I'm getting around 10 days but there is no telling how that would play out without really testing it.

Every 9 blocks it can adjust as much as +/- 1.055x. That's approximately a doubling (or halving) every 117 blocks, or a factor of +/- 10x every 387 blocks. So 1 to 1e6 or vice versa would take about 2322 blocks, plus another day/144 blocks or so for it to stabilize (the filter is slightly under-damped, so it overshoots and then corrects; you can see that in the real results above). How that works out in real time is a different story, because obviously 1 block != 10min for most of the adjustment period. From 1 to 1e9 about 10 days sounds about right and I trust galambo to have calculated that correctly. In the other direction it'll take quite a bit longer, as at first ~19 years (!) will pass between blocks. Hard-fork is your only real option in that case.

Thanks for explaining this in detail.

Here's an example of how the filter works. This was produced in the process of testing the filter.

Have you ever seen a cryptocoin which achieves an appropriate difficulty in one day, starting from diff of 1?

That's what Freicoin does now.
1216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Freicoin - Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm updated [HARD-FORK @ block #28476] on: May 13, 2013, 01:36:03 AM
How will this increase the supply?

It doesn't. Freicoin difficulty will now quickly match any increase or decrease in hashrate.  People cannot mine in a way that will make blocks pop out faster or slower than 600 seconds.
1217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Freicoin - Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm updated [HARD-FORK @ block #28476] on: May 12, 2013, 11:10:07 PM
LOL anyone who wasn't able to see that FRC's design would have these implications of large chunks of time between diff adjustments due to huge influx of miners...is fail...just fail.

Now the developers are resorting to cheating. lol

Changing the time between diff adjustments will only inflate the FRC supply. So it is a temporary fix.

glad to see you again, too.

before 161280: -0.000986912724567928 * blocks * (blocks + 1) + blocks * (254.53671561 + 496.03174604)
after 161280: 95380700.1669 + 95.36743164 * (blocks - 161280)

That's probably a good enough approximation for blocks before 161280, but after 161280 the money supply is a constant 10^8 as jtimon said.
1219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Freicoin: demurrage crypto-currency from the Occupy movement (crowdfund) on: May 07, 2013, 10:54:25 AM
Am I looking at that chart right? 10^16 is a heck of lot more than 100 million coins.

The graph is in units referred to as "satoshis" because this is what Bitcoin uses internally. If you divide 10^16 by 10^8, you get 10^8 coins, or 100,000,000.

There are sequels to it on this channel if you enjoyed the original.

I have not actually watched these, but I do know that the links you posted are from a youtube content thief.
