Out of interest, what percentage is the payout in relation to the total available funds in the faucet?
0.001% (with a minimum of 0.01 MEOW when faucet funds are under 1000). If any donator can prove they donated and would like this % to change I'd do it.
Seems a reasonable calculation. Also be handy if you could also weight it by difficulty also, so the payouts are proportional to difficulty.
Weighing the payouts by block reward and difficulty seems like a good idea.
It will be easy to do it by block reward: divide the reward by 2^[floor(numberofblocks/200,000)].
I've been thinking about weighing by difficulty for a while and I've found it could be easily implemented substracting from the % reward the value of an exponential function that takes the current difficulty and a difficulty reference level as arguments. Like this (for blocks #<200,001):
reward = roundto8decimals[[(faucetbalance + faucetreserves) / 100000] - [exp(currentdifficulty / referencedifficultylevel) -1]]
Now what I need is an adequate difficulty reference level. Current Kittehcoin difficulty is ~2. Using a reference level of 100 would mean the reward would get reduced by 0.02020134 now. Would that be a good choice?
