Well, it may be a stupid question, but could someone please explain what all those strange (at least for me) numbers like 1.37E-5 mean? How the fuck to read them on the spot?
It's scientific notation, E-5 means you need to move the value 5 places to the right so 1.37E-5 = 0.0000137 Scientific notation is not really that easy to compare at a glance but this could be easily changed to display in standard notation if sal002 passed the value through the number_format() function. eg: <?php
$value=1.37E-5;
echo number_format($value, 8);
?> Result: Or additionally removing unnecessary trailing zeros: <?php
$value=1.37E-5;
echo rtrim(number_format($value, 8), 0);
?> Result: |

Actually - that could be a really cool and universal pricing method in the future for Crypto -?
Coffee 1.2e5 BTC
Cake - 1.0e3 LTC
Bike - 1.3e2 NBL
Car - 22 Caps

Don't forget the negative symbol as you need to move the decimal point in the opposite direction for values raised to a positive power. 120,000 BTC is one pricey cup of coffee.  Scientific notation is usually displayed more like this: 1.2 x 10 5 (raised to a positive power) = 120,000 1.2 x 10 -5 (raised to a negative power) = 0.000012 It's just easier in programming terms to use En to represent x 10n |

The point is you just want people to have to visualize zeros , so even "Bike 1.3z4 " So that just says " add 4 zeros to the front " I'm willing to bet that most people don't know scientific notation , so its just as easy to try to make something new and more simple . I was top of class electronics , didn't pursue it as a trade. Except for here and there . |

Cool! Thanks a lot for the explanation.  |

I'll clear up the formatting today. The PHP function I was using was doing that silly notation....

It seems MemeCoin is stuck at 0.098 difficulty for quite some time while the real coin has been fluctuating between 0.16..0.32 in reality making it ca 2-2.5x less profitable. The block count is way down too on the coinchoose.com. Right now MemeCoin:
"blocks" : 156717,
"difficulty" : 0.20253732,
which makes it ~2x less profitable or ~ equal to LTC without taking into account orphans (which are a cool 30%).

a very good feature to the site would be that user can filter what coins he wants to be displayed, all, sha256 or scrypt.

Sal002, how about that suggestion of mine re sending/displaying stale data and flagging it as such, with a timestamp show when the last good update took place? You would avoid quite a lot of questions like the one above, if you implemented it. |
“Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.”

Great site!
I have noticed the NVC % is inflated a bit, as the rewards per block is too high. At least it doesn't match what I see other places.

Sal, NVC block reward is variable, depending on PoW difficulty (I guess), plus your site doesnt show network hashrate for NVC.
You sould consult Balthazar concerning this questions/parameters, as he is the creator of this coin.

I don't understand discrepancies between LTC and BTC lists. FLORIN coin is right now first in the LTC list with 132% adjusted profitability but is at the botton of BTC list with 12% adjusted profitability. Diff is the same in both lists. That makes no sense at all.
