So when TOP goes down to 1 coin/block, it generates 1440 coins per day.

30 sec blocks, so It generates 2880 blocks per day. so 24 will be 10 blocks, and 1 will be a 100 bock.

so 2855 1 coin blocks = 2855
+ 24 10 coin blocks = 240
+ 1 x 100 = 100
--------------------
Total per day:3095 + transaction fees. So Lets predict 3200 coins per day

From an economics and longevity standpoint, your math, assumptions and conclusions are respectable.  Unfortunately, I do not believe the Dev(I do not want to speak for him, just my opinion) shares the same thought process, especially to publicly call the coin experimental.  Good, bad or indifferent, that is the case and with the 2 day halving, it will not take long to see how this plays out.  BTW....I could only wish the price hits .45 cent!  I would go to work and tell EVERYONE to fuck off!...lol

It's so easy to save this coin though! Two day halving is fine, and you can preserve the experiment. All you have to do is is set the minimum at 10,000 or even 5,000 might be enough.

Look, bitcoin is 21 million max. TOP is 11 billion, it's almost 500 times more coins than bitcoin. Given that BTC is a 10 minute block time, this is like having bitcoin having a block reward of 0.04. What do you think would happen to the hashrate of BTC then and that's the granddaddy of all crypto we're talking.

TOP stands no chance at keeping miners without changes to the structure. I'll buy back when the dev realizes the inevitability of the cold hard math.

Man I hate repeating myself. Do the math. I have shown in previous posts if topcoin has the market cap of DOGE at 1 coin per block it can only sustain 800kh/s. Anyone can 51% it if they wanted

Its not really about the market cap in this situation, because the amount of new coins that will be getting minted is almost none.

Also this is a experimental coin to see what really will happen. Most cryptos eventually will be reduced to 1 or less. We are just speeding up the process.

My personal view is that it will be fine, and the price will go up enough to still give a return to those who remain mining.




The market cap is vital cause it is a determination of how much supply exists. I already explained this in a previous post, supply is not just how much is produced, it's how much exists in the MARKET. This is not food products or electronics. Coins in existence do not perish. Mined supply going down doesn't matter much if there's already a certain amount in the market.

Look, anyone who's taken econ 101 will know how this plays out without some sort of change (be it different bonus structures or a change in the smallest block awards). If you guys continue to be stubborn that's fine. I'll just sell now and buy back when it goes down to 1-2 satoshi and you guys realize you need to make the changes. See you at the bottom!

Sorry that I did not see any of your previous post, but what is your stance?  That the coin will die if the Dev does not change the reward from 1 coin per block?  Sell now and buy back @ 1 - 2 sat?  What then? Hold until the price rises?

I'm going to copy paste what I've written and the math I used:

What makes a coin valuable? Supply and demand. How much supply is there already of TOP? Just over 9 billion. How much demand is there for TOP? Not particularly much right now. This isn't food or even electronics. When coins are produced, they generally stay forever. Sure a small amount gets lost from people who lost their wallets etc, but it's not that significant a quantity. Functionally, coins stay forever. What does this mean for TOP? It means that it doesn't particularly matter that it will be really hard to mine more later, there's already so much that the supply is extremely large. In fact, we are already basically at the point that mining barely matters at all. By the next halving, it will be practically pointless to mine without an extreme hash drop.

So why is this unique for TOP? Because it reaches max supply quickly, and effectively stabilizes at that supply. The real question is will demand rise? Because of the stability of supply for TOP, any demand increases will not be diluted by inflation, what you see is effectively what you get in terms of TOP, it's very nature is deflationary if you get in past a certain point. Does price HAVE to rise? Not at all, demand could drop and we could see prices fall to 1 satoshi even or worthless (this will likely happen if hash rate goes too far down, people will have less faith in the security of the coin since 51% attacks will be easier). Could it rise? Sure, if demand rises then prices will go up proportional to demand, since there's no inflationary pressure.

The point is, TOP is designed so that if it gets a lot of hype, prices will rise very quickly. If there is no hype, it will likely die just as quickly because the hash rate will drop below a point where anybody is willing to trust the coin anymore. Effectively, in 1 week we will know what will happen to TOP.

I actually have a huge problem with one of the designs of top. The drop to 1 coin/block makes it so that it's almost guarranteed to die in 2 months time. Lets take a look at what miners expect in a coin to keep mining it:

In general, you are looking at a minimum of $40/day for a 5Mh/S rig. (I'm being conservative, plenty of coins give more than this, but it's what is the reasonable minimum).

So when TOP goes down to 1 coin/block, it generates 1440 coins per day. Lets say we want a network hash of 200Mh/S in order to stay at a level where the coin is still trustworthy (even though that's still quite risky). If that's the case, then 5/200 or 1/40 of 1440 must be worth $40 for people to mine. So each coin will have to be worth $0.9.

Is this possible? No way in hell. That would put the market cap of TOP at 10 Billion USD. Unless top becomes as powerful as bitcoin, it will never reach that price.

Lets look at it from a different angle. What if TOP reaches the market cap of DOGE at $50 million. Then each TOP will be worth roughly 0.45 cents. In this case, all the TOP generated per day at 1 coin/block will be worth about $6.5. That means the network hash IN THE EVENT that TOP gets to be as popular as DOGE, is going to be at most 800Kh/S, which is obviously disasterous.

Both of these point to the same conclusion. In a couple more block halvings, what we will see is that the dev will choose to hard fork the coin to fix this issue. The current system is a death sentence for the coin no matter what happens.

I think this coin can survive and has a chance to do really well (That's why I hold the coin myself). But crypto requires a network to survive and this coin was built to fail if you keep the 1 coin minimum.

I did the math already, to retain a decent number of miners, you have to have rewards be no less than the equivalent of 10,000 coins per block. It can be through bonuses, or transaction fees or whatever. Point is, that's how much would keep enough miners in the game to prevent a 51% attack.

A coworker and I was talking about this today, questioning why the quick halving and concluded it was an experiment to see what happens to a coin once 1. The payouts are extremely low after most of the coins have been mined OR 2. The coin is completely mined.  Thanks for confirming our conclusion.  I have only been in the cryptocurrency arena for 3 months, but it is interesting how cryptocurrency is suppose to be this decentralized, anonymous method of performing transactions, etc etc and everyone talks so badly about "fiat currency", BUT in order to "get rich" you must convert your cryptocurrency(for the most part) into a "fiat currency".  Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that logic?

Anywho...I mined for 2 days, got MILLIONs of coins and well, sold some, bought some cheap, sold them again and waiting.  I still have MILLIONs and will wait to see how this plays out.  As an experiment, I think the Dev should stand his ground and let it play out as well.  As he mentioned, it will be a learning lesson for all cryptocurrency.

Have submitted TOP to coinmarket cap, we should be up on there soon

hey topdude i agree with you man.  this is a great experiment.  we will see what will happen when the rewards goes to 1/block.  im willing to hold out and see if we get over 100 sats.  and yes lets keep it like it is and see what happens.  with that said dev has to support the coin same time.  i think the greatest threat to a coin is the dev baling out.  that alone will for sure will kill the coin.  so dev do we have your support of this coin to the end?  hope so.  best of luck to all.

Come on guys. Let's just don't give up hope yet. This coin will rise, don't spread all the FUD to keep it down. No doubt that this coin has a chance to die in a few months time, but now it's a great chance to make profit from this! why sell low? keep it high people =)

My point exactly. Smiley

Glad to find people with a sound mind.

Who doesn't like profit??? I mean like TIPS and MOON. we all know those coins are shit. But those two coins made me 3btc from 0.4btc. Last month i had around 20mil TIPS, and I sold it for 2 satoshi LTC coz it has been dropping from 16 satoshi. And the dev also bailed on that coin. But it shot up to more than 100satoshi last week! U KNOW HOW MUCH PROFIT I LOST???  50x profit! If anyone is saying that there are just too many coins out there now and bitcoin is the only one that rewards early adopters, well you're wrong. This coin rewards early adopters and we're the earliest.

It's your choice to sell for a slight loss now or hold and earn 50x profit. It's like a lottery ticket and the odds are much much better than lottery!
Come on guys! think!

I am strapped in tight for the ride! The rest of y'all are just pansies. Sit tight, should be interesting to see which way this goes.

I'm with you, only have the 1.2m I mined.... but I'm going to hold them... worst case scenario I lose the potential $30 I could make right now... best case=top goes to $0.01 and I make $12k .... I'm willing to gamble $30 if the payoff is 400/1 or better  Cool

You never know! And that's the value in this experiment.

My point exactly, I've only got about 12 hours worth of mining invested into TOP, so if it crashes I'll be out $0.60 in power costs, $30 in potential lost trades at 4 satoshi and 12 hours worth of time I could have been mining something else at a $5 or so profit... so I'll be out $35.60 ... whoop-dee-fucking-doo! Big loss!!!  Roll Eyes ... I already made that much back off UTC  Cool

Guys, can we argue less about the future of this coin and start to focus on what it has already accomplished? With all the negativity floating around it turns people away from wanting to invest. If we focus on the positive parts and strategically plan how to make this coin its best I think more people will become interested!

+1

To the guys who don't like it....don't mine it!! Go develop your own coin!! It's that simple.

does this mean you will never increase the 1 block reward when it reaches that point?

Thats correct, best we let it play out, and see what really does happen. rather than speculating about the worse case sinerio

Let we make vote for the reward!
I suggest to make it 1000 with x10 and x100 bonus blocks!

Let the community decide!


a hard fork is probably what would kill the coin, why would anyone want to do that?

Guys the people posting such things really dont understand how crypto, difficulty, mining and trading works.

Hardfork, is only good if coin is faulty or has errors. Topcoin aint broken, its doing exactly as it was planned

You're a fucking idiot.

You made your point, if you don't like what dev is doing then leave the thread and mine something else.I'm fully supporting dev in there choice. A lot of people said something about bitcoin too, that it was worthless, at least they said it in 2009, and look now!!!! If you don't try something new, then you will always follow the main coins and your coin will die later, now the risk is that it can die in 40 days, but it can also be exploding!!!

No, it cannot "exploding".

If these are the kind of incompetent entities supporting this coin why not just close the thread now.

Comparing Bitcoin to TOP is asinine. Bitcoin had first movers advantage and was the first sha256 crypto ever.



As, so what? When you were mining Bitcoins, did you ever thought that it would hit $1000? And if you say yes, then i don't understand why you're still here, as you should have so many porsches, or did you pay 25000 BTC for a pizza too? The point is BTC was shit in 2009, and maybe TOP is also shit now, but who knows... it is something unique, and the only thing that you're losing is a few days/weeks/months of electricity. I'm sure that nobody will die from that Smiley
