I don't mine anything so you have to ask that someone else.. but it has to be same rig you mine any other coin, no difference.

Not sure I understand the second question.

sorry KH to get a coin

Also, before the inflation correction occurs, we are allowing the community to continue to become early adopters by maintaining current coin production levels for the duration of this season.


sounds a little, um, centralized, you allowing others???

so does this mean there will be less coins in the remainder of production, or are you upping whole coin amount

this needs a  tl;dr

rather than a pdf


Full number of coins to be produced is same but it'd time distribution is bit different. Check the pdf.

what sort of rig do i need to be able to mine

also is the new system front loading the coin so not as much motivation to mine in the long term???

2745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LTC to MTGOX this July? (maybe for real this time?) on: June 21, 2013, 04:14:02 PM
I'm just curious how intense will the BTC outflow into LTC be.

That's a good question. I wonder if this will 'dilute' the value of BTC. i doubt it, but it's worth considering.

This is the 'money' question

the coin with the better dev will win out....

Hi

I would consider,

New Zealand as they have stood up to the US recently over MEGA.
Singapore, is rapidly becoming attractive to the very wealthy, and can be more dynamic/Realpolitik due to gov structure.
China would also be a consideration but integration with the correct local entity is crucial

Ideally I would have a presence in several jurisdictions, to ameliorate risk, with mechanisms to transfer wealth to any particular entity quickly, eg through BTC. You should then be safe.

Eg open them up independently, and have them own shares/interests in each other, and possibly a 4th entity.

I think I can say that this is also a lie - someone at the bank is lying to mtux if this is what was said.

exactly my thoughts

Nope, you can still deposit or withdraw if you verify your identity.  A pain in the ass but I guess not much choice

really maybe I misread it?

"We are currently making improvements to process withdrawals of United States Dollar (USD) denominations, and as a result are temporarily suspending cash withdrawals of USD for the next two weeks."

So...Gox has stopped USD withdrawals for 2 weeks, to upgrade?Huh yet it still accepts deposits?Huh

because of too much volume, by 'new' players or something

any low down on this?

(also I got color ignored for this post!)

time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
I don't like it.

It embodies the assumption that any post above once per day (averaged over two weeks) is not contributing; which I do not agree with.

At the very least number of posts per day should be increased, e.g. min(time * 28, posts).

And you should consider more sophisticated metrics such as sum of f(x) over all two-week periods, f(x) being x / (1 + sqrt(x/14)) or x / (1 + x/28).

Time spent logged in will also be useful to include as a component.
Now let's take the indefinite integral of that function...

Challenge accepted!

Code:
                                         3/2
                             2 Sqrt[14] x
28 Sqrt[14] Sqrt[x] - 14 x + --------------- -
                                    3
 
  392 Log[14 + Sqrt[14] Sqrt[x]]

Or

28(x-28log(x+28))

I had to use an integrator of the first, the second was easy to do by hand.

YOUFORGOTYOURCONSTANT!

A complex solution that is well thought out. I have an issue with this though (besides being too complex) it does not address the fact that it will reward trolling kids with plenty of free time instead of more mature contributors who actually add value in their discussions and posts.

I would like to see what you have implemented theymos incorporated with a points system which the community can upvote or downvote individual posts based on content. Similar to Reddit and Hacker News.

The idea is to discourage posts with no relevance to the wider community and reduce the number of flamewars and trolling.

Think of it as community driven forum moderation.

but mob upvote/downvote kills diversity, and new ideas, entrenches to much of the normative. We wan't the tails of the bell graph, gotta take the good with the bad

Why do people keep repeating this! It is EASIER than before because all you do is create an account, do 7 posts a week and you gain hero status by WAITING. Not by doing anything, not by being credible, but by WAITING.

And by that virtue, EVERYONE will get promoted to hero.

I didn't think about that.

you know this is a fair point, it's going to create legions of hero members over time....

..which is the point of the new metric. If you're active on the forums for 14-ish months, you'll naturally gain "hero" status...just as [previously] if you're 'active' on the forums spamming posts for a month you'll gain "hero" status.

I'm quite happy with the change. It appears the majority of users complaining have an unusual fascination with arbitrary titles and symbols under their name than anything else...as if it somehow makes them feel better inside or something?

look I agree, but I think it should be harder to be a hero member....the reason it may be useful is signal v noise argument.....

And how would the minimum of 2 booleans be defined then, if min() were a logical function? Makes little sense to me (= mathematician, graduated in mathematical logic).

min(x,y) is just your everyday minimum-value-function. More details at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Minimum.html

min() is not a boolean logical operator, its at best a usually function call as you note.

there is only &&, ||, NOT (cant find the bar)

short hand . + not
2755  Other / Meta / Re: Activity & new membergroup limits on: June 19, 2013, 02:17:02 PM
this formula makes little sense
activity = min(time * 14, posts)?

activity = min(time * 14, posts), what does the , mean in there

it looks like  a = min(t*14,p)

could you be a little more explicit in the maths formula

min= minimum
time= time logged in
post= total post you made


but what is the ","? is it t*14/p, t*14*p, t*4 + g(p)?, min( t*14 || p)

I think he means min (t*14||p) to say z = g(x,y) is a 3 dimensional function

the logical "or" || should be used not ","

if(t*14<p)
{cout>>t*14;}
else
{cout>>p;}


also, I think the ignore needs some attention, as it breeds too much normative behavior by the sanction of the longest here which is death to vitality.


min(x,y) is a standard mathematical function that yields, unsurprisingly, the minimum of the 2 arguments. Just like any multi-argument function, it uses a comma to separates the different arguments. I don't see what's confusing about that.

using a logical or between arguments would make no sense, since t*14 and p are not boolean variables.

uh the t*14 is evaluated first...

wow...not sure what planet I must be on, but I never use or see min(x,y), its always logical functions...to express an idea....
probably to much into the maths than programing!

I feel that in the long term it will be a gain for all of us as the accounts get harder to gain seniority and in this way it helps the accounts gain more money
