[ANN][SEM] Semux - Official Thread

[Basaleyi]

The Semux project changed his signature this week, and a change to a ghost and two weeks' signature ended. But their students pay attention, or it because you didn't change without your reward, you'll be a big loss.

Yeab new signature is very nice i think this the main reason of being excluded from signature campaign this week because my account updated today to new signature .

Is there a place where I can buy some Semux?

My btt account level is too low to be qualified for the aidrop.
Why the team highten the threshold?
Is the market enough big ?
No need more new fans?

Semux bounty activities only two weeks time, the next node gets the token on mining. Now the competition for Semux nodes has become very fierce, and the comrades who get coins through the bounty have a good vote.

There are already plans for another airdrops? Maybe you are going to rewards some Semux holder in the future? Would be great if you would support it, so more people will start to hold their semux in early stages!

I did not get a reward for last week. Check it please

What about on this forum?  I prefer to trade with people based on their trust level on this forum.  Discord seems a little scary.

This address voted 100 for every pool today.
This should make pool comparisons easier going forward

100 votes is not enough for comparison, because some pools (with a minimum payment of 0.5 SEM) will be paid once a 3-4 days.
For a good analysis, you need to have 400 votes every pool.

Following my last post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2159012.msg29724361#msg29724361) where i tried to check multiple pools and when and how they are paying i continue with this week testing:

Some observations:

• all values are approximate; day1 was in fact half a day, that's the day i voted, so it's not so important;
• this is somehow irrelevant because daily pay is correlated with how many blocks that particular pool forged in that day; this is only for testing of pools. plus if a pool has too many votes the payout will be smaller, so try to spread your votes as much as possible;
• even though all animals pool (from alligator to lobster) (https://semux.info/pool) is the most professional with everyday pay and a great website, they have a very big fee so i will remove all my 650 votes;
• last week i tested generals (general01-04) pools they never paid me until this week in the middle of the week (0.36 once, for 100 votes last week). i found their website (http://semuxpool.info/) and minimum payout is 0.5. i won't vote for them anyway, too big fee 18%;
• i wil remove all my votes from pools with more than 8% fee. i think that is too much and i won't help them. i'm still waiting for pools with 1-2%, that's a standard in cryptocurrencies pools. Animals fee of 25 is way too high;
• you can check user levyashin post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2159012.msg29319963#msg29319963) he is keeping a great list of pools and fees. Or go to official discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/qQVckKZ) and there's a channel #pools if any questions;
• semux has 2 very good block explorers https://semux.info/explorer and http://semuxchain.info/;
• if anyone can make me a good offer for 1300 votes PM me (VOTES only, i'm not selling).

Yeah, I don't think there's enough data points yet to come to any firm conclusions but I like the idea and effort

Impressive information, thanks!

As for fees, someone did the math, and due to the 1000 SEM burn, your asking fee of 1-2% would *never* regain the initial burn, it'd be operating at a loss, even if hardware were free...  that seems unreasonable?
At the minimum, as there's 35k votes, and the user threw away 1000, that should at least count as a 'vote'  so 1/35 = 2.8% at the bare minimum without recouping any of the initial 1000 burned, so still losing SEM..   Think at 5-8% fee it was something like a year to break even? 25% is like 3 months to break even.

Also you might consider updating your table to add SEM/vote, as it looked like animal pool was really high paying, but doing the math, it was the lowest one.

Is it me or is the wallet sucking up more RAM then it used to?
The Java machine on my PC is now up above 500MB.

I don't know how much it was in the past, but mine is currently using about 486 MB of RAM.

It *was* at 200 to 250 last time I looked (around the 5th) so I don't know when it jumped.

Great writeup.  So to maximize returns,  a  pool with 2 to 5 % fee   &  balancing votes at regular interval, is way to go.

How did you come to such conclusion? 75 mil coins are block rewards. Divide it by 100 validators. At 2% pool fee it makes 15k. And also there are tx fees.
And even if you look at one year time frame. It's 3153600 per year. 31k per validator. At 3% fee they get their money back in a year.
In conclusion, 3% is the reasonable fee.
