1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is Concurrent burning "Technically" possible?! on: December 18, 2020, 01:47:49 AM
Hi Everyone;

I hope this is the right place for my inquiry.

I'm wondering whether or not a cryptocurrency can be burnt proportionally and simultaneously across all wallets holding that specific currency. I have derived a method in which Bitcoin's "Asymptotic Money Supply Targeting" can be replicated; however, not through mining, but instead, through burning, Lets just call it "Burning to Asymptote Target" or BAT for short.  For this to work, a burning command is triggered at a predefined interval where the amount to be burnt, is burnt in proportion of a wallet's holding.

ex: If 100 coins out of 1000 are triggered for burning, and there are 3 wallets as following:

Wallet 1 has 10% of total supply (100 out of 1000 coins)
wallet 2 has 40% of total supply (400 out of 1000 coins
wallet 3 has  50% of total supply (500 out of 1000 coins)

then wallets 1, 2, and 3, should be able to burn 10, 40, and 50 coins respectively from their current holding.

Is that technically possible?  what do you think some of the risks are? and do you know of any current project that has this sort of concurrent burning?  

I would be glad to share my finding with you on the BAT approach as it iss perfect for industry specific blockchain tokens and currencies. It entails all the drivers of value ( both expressed ,and intrinsic) the bitcoin has without competing with bitcoin over hashingpower and elecricity consumption. (therefore striving for stability and not striving to gain value from cost of production)

Specifically which period?

As you said, the difficulty adjustment is done every 2016 blocks. In the earlier days of Bitcoin, there were few miners mining and they were using CPU miners which is extremely slow. The period between each block was sporadic and it took much longer than 2 weeks to reach 2016 blocks. The first difficulty adjustment was in February 2010.

Since the lowest difficulty was 1, the difficulty(target) couldn't have adjusted to get the block interval to 10 minutes and thus it persisted for quite a while.

Please refer to blockchain link below , regarding when block # 2016 was mined! https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/2016

Hi Everyone,

Its my first post in here, and surely wont be the last!

I couldn't help but notice the following:

Knowing that difficulty adjustment occurs every 2016, blocks; why are the dates of every other 2016th block vary in date when it should have actually occurred?



Thanks, and hope I can find the right people here who can help me create the first of its kind crypto currency of a nation - The Arez Coin, The currency of the Lebanese Revolution against corrupt politics!
