Hey guys, is there going to be a date when we merge multiple pull requests or is it ok for me to accept this one:

https://github.com/spreadcoin/spreadcoin/pull/14

It's gonna be in the next major update.
Why? Do you need it right now?

As far as I've checked this a few months ago, it's not necessary to change this line of code to make it compilable with boost > 1.58. Just change how boost is handled in the Makefile.
Anyhow, there is going to be a decision with the next update about what minimum boost, Qt, etc.. version we will require and why.
Ok, I don't need it now, I was just wondering why it hadn't been merged.

Well, all kinds of people are horny to make all kinds of updates all the time. (as you just demonstrated...  Grin )
We need to be very careful with this, and that's why the general rule is to rather do too few adjustments instead of too many.

If you wonder if a fork would happen in a certain constellation you need to do a live test in a testing environment to see what would happen.
We are not going to make any updates without thoroughly testing them first.

Also, something kind of off topic with spreadcoin but kind of not...

I was just messing around and was wondering if this could be a suitable reward expression:
Code:
nSubsidy = 20 / 3 / (2 ^ (1 / g_RewardHalvingPeriod * nHeight ) )

I'm not sure if power is represented as ^ or pow(x, y) in C++ so if it's pow() then:
Code:
nSubsidy = 20 / 3 / pow( 2 , ( 1 / g_RewardHalvingPeriod * nHeight ) )

The main question is, will different CPU's round differently (or something) and cause a fork to occur?
If not, then we could upgrade spreadcoin's "smooth" reward halving to an even smoother one like this.

Edit:
I'm trying to understand Spreadcoin's reward calculation.
If you graph the reward over many blocks, is the curve made of many straight lines like this:
http://i.imgur.com/pZdUuBH.gif
Or is it an actual curve
?

Edit2: Ok I figured it out,

Here is a graph. Red is current block reward over time, Blue is proposed Block reward over time.
I just need to make some small adjustments so that the sum of all block rewards of the blue curve match the sum of all block rewards of the red one (at each halving).




Does anyone else like this idea?

Edit3: Ok after a long time of trial and error (I know, pretty stupid, but I couldn't be bothered thinking about other ways) I finally found the perfect formula:

Code:
nSubsidy= 6.9314718514867 / (2 ^ (1 / g_RewardHalvingPeriod * nHeight ) )
Now at each halving, using the proposed block formula, the sum of all previous blocks matches with
the old formula's sum of all previous blocks.

Top Number is Block Number, Second is the sum of all blocks from the old algo, Third is the sum of all blocks of the new algo.

I know it's 6 decimal places, it was coded in Lua and I don't know how to change that.

The lack of updates is extremely frustrating but I find a fair bit of comfort knowing that Georgem isn't simply cut and pasting Darkcoin code but working on service nodes from scratch.  

The end product, or at least the first release, should be pretty special.

Exactly who sell cheap now will cry later  Wink


Its actually me selling at the moment.  I really wish I didn't have to do it.  

I'm just about to splash out $750k on property and to make it happen I need all the spare change I can put my hands on.

The rest of my bag is staying untouched for the long term.  

I don't blame you mate. I'm once again left wondering if georgem is capable of producing what he intends.

He has my confidence.

So too, it would seem, does the person buying your stack. I would participate in taking some off your hands if I had some free capital at the moment.

I've kept a nice big stack for the future, don't worry about that  Wink

Maybe tomorrow I will be able to pick some off from you. Hoping to make some money off these nodes so I need as many as I can get! Cheesy

Edit: I forgot to ask! Have those apps been approved yet Stone?

and also, good luck with that property purchase!
