Hey, is there any way to find the effective interest rate right now? I know it changes with difficulty, just looking for ball park estimate.

No way to make money on this coin anymore sadly... |

Click the staking arrow or network -> Current POS info (may take a few clicks), it will bring up a box with information. |

Not that I've seen...
I'm thinking the only way to get the memory usage down is to decrease the number of blocks... or use compression... either way it's hard because the blockchain needs to be from #0 to current... I'm really thinking a new genesis block like compression where all current balances get fed into block #0... call me crazy...
I think you could be able to unload spent inputs, and only load in unspent. Also you could even only load in the last 100 days of unspent or something. Would require more disk reads and more CPU usage, but could save memory. Anyway just a thought right now, till I can dig into it more. |

Right... the blockchain .dat will still be required to be full... memory can be used for -1000 blocks but would have to be tied to the network total block count. That would fix all the memory issues... but you'd need something more than a R-Pi though I'd think to handle any read calls on the blockchain file such as a sync to another wallet. |

No way to make money on this coin anymore sadly... While my "make money" attitude towards coins was the reason I jumped in to the pool in the first place... I've been sticking around just because I enjoy it as an escape from life's abyss... so I will continue to stake into the night since I believe the future of banking is in this coding of both PoW and PoS. That and I'm not net-negative... |

Current requests:
Change S4C to 100% - I think I will likely do 75 or 90% for the first change. Then if that goes well change to 100%. But I can bump it, yes.
Lower CPU - This will be one of the first one. Multiple changes for this.
Lower Memory - Most important but also most difficult. Will take much time, but will begin to investigate this and see what can be done. Need help from the crowd on this one. What POS coins are out there that have the least memory? New coins don't count. Have to have few years under their belt.
What else?
Hi to all fellow hobos! Tranz, may be you should contact Balthazar, the author of one of the oldest Pos coins - NVC. He is quite a wise man, and could be helpful i think. Concerning NVC blocks and memory usage - currently it has 341402 blocks and uses only 181.8 Mb memory, at 0.5% CPU. |

 For info above... HYP is at 1028083 blocks with 462MB memory usage. HBN is at 5242362 blocks with 2.2GB... so the memory usage is about equal per block... Right on, so are there any that are lower per block? Mint, nvc, black coin, ppc? Ect... For me a natural way is to make the block creation frequency variable, between 1 minute an 10 minutes, for example. The question is, what could this frequency depend on? |

The block generation frequency could depend on the mempool size. Or, if spam is taken into account, it could depend on the accumulated fees in the mempool. (block generation frequency should depend on as little metrics as possible)

If my suggestion is realized properly, it should lead to faster transfer times on high usage spikes, that is an opposite behaviour as the bitcoin is doing (and perhaps all other altcoins at this time).
It also could prevent an attack through filling up the mempool, this would become expensive. To make this work, the time interval between blocks should depend on the accumulated fees in the mempool.

In a later step the usage information could be used to determine the block size automatically. The mean could be around 3 minute block interval, and if usage spikes drives block interval to 1 minute over a longer time, block size could be enlarged. Or if low usage drives the block interval to 10 minutes for a longer time, block size could be reduced.
(I cannot say if this is technically solvable. But if the suggestions follow sustainable economic rules, they should be consistant and fit together)

My dream is a coin, where every single individuum can solve one block a week, and gets a reward for it, which could be seen as a basic income. My main problem is, to hinder people, to register more than once.

GenStake is another PoS/PoW coin that runs much less CPU and memory than HBN. 2GiveCoin runs with very little resources but is much differently structured kind of PoS/PoW coin. Hyperstake and Truckcoin are also lower in memory and CPU use but do not use PoW. (Truckcoin runs higher on CPU use) The GreenCoin daemon runs with very little CPU and memory use but is also PoS only. However greencoin has problems of its own which i need to take care of when i get time. Its based on the old blackcoin. Likely going to be upgraded to the new blackcoin base when i have some time. The main issue with it is that peer discovery isnt working (may be due to faulty seed nodes) and the blockchain sync stalls at certain blocks Ahmed Hi Ahmed, good to see you still around. Hopefully I can keep you busy with a few pull requests in the next few months.. hehe. Hey Tranz, glad to see your back. I hope if i get some time i'll have some PR's for you to look over  Ahmed |
