Well, thanks for your responses.
On point 2) the point I was making is at median difficulty the reward was about 3:1, but currently the supply of coins won't allow for even median difficulty with the change to Pog so the reward realistically will be 5:1 or there abouts. If PoDC was eliminated...the reward shifted to PoG and the max tithe increased by a similar percentage, then we wouldn't be able to hit any where close to median difficulty and the 3:1 reward would be much much higher.
If you're unwilling to mitigate your strength in voting then let's just vote tomorrow since you hold the majority of traditionally voting nodes and at least remove the uncertainty of what will happen. You've done a lot of work and deserve a large say in how things go, but with your position of strength in voting, if you plan on voting the nodes you control then there is really no point in any debate. Just tell us the direction you're taking the coin and do it...saving us the heart ache of actually thinking we may have a real voice in this coin.
On #2, I don't think you realize we have a tithe cap or a reward cap per day in POG. In Phase 1 we only pay out 90K per day. Therefore this thing about rewards being "much higher" would not be true. They are the same in phase 1 and phase 2 (they never breach the covenant of our emission schedule).
On voting: For one I have the vote scheduled in 20 days or so because POG has not really been rolled out yet. It needs to enter phase2 for people to see its value first then have something to compare PODC to. Then we will vote on schedule as block 106000 or so is when people expect the vote to be. What I am confused about is why you are trying to infer that I hold the key to the vote. Why do you think I have more than 20% of the sancs? We have approx 496 nodes right now. You should be lobbying the other approx 75% sancs that are owned by people other than me.
Slovakia claimed something like I received special treatment to earn free sancs.. What did I get in payroll, 30 million bbp or so in total? Maybe that helped me buy 20 of my sancs, but I just as easily could have crashed the price, isnt it more noble to run those sancs than crash the price? All the other sancs I bought on the free market. So no, there was no special treatment.
On #2 let me restate:
Right now, with the current reward structure and tithe cap, at median difficulty would pay out approx 3:1 reward:tithe. The problem is median difficulty (with the revisions to Pog limiting a single tithe to a max of 10), cannot be reached with our current supply. So the level that CAN be reached is a lower difficulty that pays a higher ratio. Since all of the current supply will not be used for PoG titheing (non-participants and those with Sanctuaries), the actual reward will be MUCH HIGHER.
Real numbers:
The median difficulty would require coins that are 30 days old, would require the "coin amount" to be 12,500 and the maximum tithe to be 5. Since the current maximum cumulative daily tithes is basically 50,000 (50,694 is the real number), it would take 50,000/2 or 25,000 in daily tithes to reach median difficulty. This means there would be 25,000/5 or 5000 individual tithes. Each of these tithes would be supported from a coin stack that was at least 30 days old and at least 12,500 BBP in size. At median difficulty, each of the tithe's would receive an equal share of the approximately 82,000 in rewards so 82,000/5000 or 16.4 BBP per tithe (just north of 3:1 ratio). But to reach median, you in effect need 30 days * 5000 tithes * 12,500 BBP to be "locked up". That is 1.875B BBP, our current supply is only 1.3B, so we cannot reach median. Since it's likely that a large number of MN will not disband and free up their stake for PoG nor the marketplaces participate, nor even 100% of the users participate, the realistic maximum stake that can be "locked" is far less than the supply. So the actual ratio will be MUCH HIGHER than 3:1 because median difficulty is impossible over the long run with the current supply and current parameters.
It gets worse if PoDC is disbanded and PoG gets the whole PoDC reward. Then the maximum tithe would by the current design go to "half the monthly charity budget", which right now would be 3.3M coins/ month or 110,000 per day (roughly double the current cap), but the reward would go from 82,000/day to over 1M/day (a twelve fold increase). With a higher cap, median difficulty could not be achieved for years or possibly decades (it would start at requiring nearly 4B coins to be "locked" into PoG). And for the near term, PoG would pay out approximately 17:1 at median difficulty (which isn't going to be possible). Realistically, achieving even difficulty at 20,000 would be a stretch, but at that level would require 18 day age, 7600 size and 7 maximum tithe amount and lock up 650M coins (half our current supply) and pay 198 BBP/7 tithe or a 28:1 ratio.
So yes, I've thought this out a lot more than you give me credit for.
On the voting point, I'll just say you have every right to vote all your MN, I don't feel you've cheated the system to get the (unknown) number you have. But you do know that of the Sanctuaries that normally vote, you hold the super-majority. You also know or should know that 100% participation is unheard of, even DASH only gets about 25% participation and we're more or less in line with that. So in reality, you control the direction of the coin with both your labor and can with your voting strength. So if you're dead set on PoG, just do it and reduce the uncertainty that is affecting the community.
On #2, I don't understand the spirit of your point. A page ago I thought your point was when a tither who can tithe 300 bbp moves to tithing only 10 bbp (and average diff drops), their reward will be MUCH HIGHER. And I said No, it will be the same (which is true). Now it appears you are comparing POG to losing PODC, somehow, stating that a POG miner will receive MUCH HIGHER (compared to what?) of a reward, well yes, if they drop 10 computers electric bills, and receive rewards for tithing, and our pool recipient count stays static (which it wont!) then yes they receive a higher reward.
Let me clarify the numbers first then maybe you can re-phrase your point. I don't even understand why you are talking about locked up coins. If coins are free they will either be sold or invested in sanctuaries (I estimate 80% will be locked up in a sanc rather than just sit around in someones account for no reason). My point is if we dispand PODC, 30% of the coins might get sold cheap on SX, out of the remaining 70%, 75% of those will create new sancs, we dont know the exact figure, but yes, of course we will have a different animal after unlocking 50 MM coins that are currently locked.
POG doesnt lock any coins - lets agree with that.
Here are the key figures - lets talk about only two scenarios - after block 102025, we have Environment A (POG + PODC), and hypothetically after block 108,000 we have environment B (POG only).
Environment A: Maximum Tithes Accepted per day: 52000. Payout from Pog Pool per day: 75000.
Environment B: Maximum Tithes Accepted per day: 92000. Payout from Pog Pool per day: 960,000.
Imo, it does not matter if the POG diff algorithm hovers at a median. Since this is a free market and the mining activity is governed by profitability, more miners will most !certainly! enter the pog pool as soon as PODC is disabled. Its a true fallacy to think that if we have 50 miners in the pog pool in Environment A, that we will have 50 in environment B. It is utterly and most certainly false. We would certainly have 500 miners in Environment B (minimum) since the pool pays out 960,000 in rewards per day.
In light of this let me stop here.
Ill say more thing, this is most certainly happening also: After block 102025, after everyone tithes and exhausts their coin age, the entire network will start re-tithing in the same day, because diff will drop significantly. This means that it is *entirely* possible that the 27K~ per day in donations does start to reach 52K even in environment A.
In environment B, I would wager a 100% liklihood that we reach the exact 92K per day tithe cap from donations. This is because everyone will be trying to get those high rewards.
What all this means to the average user is, let us assume that we have 50 people in Pog Pool today. This means an average user would receive about 4,000 in reward in BBP. In Environment B if nothing changes (which it will) they would immediately jump to 40,000 per day in rewards. But quickly as word gets out that the pool is bigger, the pool recipient count will grow to 500 (within a couple weeks) and the 40,000 reward will drop back down to 4,000 per tithe recipient.
So none of this nefarious or bad for biblepay like you are saying. This is just a free economic pool.
