Good morning all, I see the catastrophic event of the day is that we ran out of Rosetta tasks!
First of all lets all remain patient, and consider that fortunately with our move to PODC, our payments are based on RAC - Recent Average Credit, and not on Daily Credit Delta Rewards, meaning that we have all built up a buffer of work that we can rely on in this time of draught.
Think of your RAC as a research savings account of stored up work. It is reducing at a decay level of a couple percent per day (roughly), so if you have 1000 RAC today, you may have about 980 rac tomorrow and still receive 98% of your rewards today while Rosetta has no new tasks.
And since we are all in this together, we all decay together relatively speaking, so none of us has any advantage during this dry spell.
If you go to the RPC and type 'exec racdecay' you can take a look at how an average PC builds up RAC for an event like this. And then imagine in the middle of the schedule, the effects on your RAC as you wait out a day.
In the mean time lets hope that Rosetta runs the task scheduler. I have a lot of PMs, sorry for the delay. Yes, we can talk about long term possibilities of backups, as long as they are Christian based. Alzheimers, AIDS, etc. Let's not jump to conclusions and overcomplicate our system. Let's take this slow and see if Rosetta comes back with new tasks today.
I don't think any of them are Christian based. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
How often do tasks need to be submitted? Because if our all our task weights go to zero only a few people will get paid.
Right, I suppose in the sense that they are all science based, none are technically Christian created projects, but at least the few that are based in 'healing' or curing a disease in contrast to looking for aliens (paganism or darwinism) or discovering nanotechnologies (materialism) would be more aligned with our mission.
Regarding task weight dropping to zero you have a great point there. The nice thing about PODC is we have 4 network modes and we are in heavenly mode right now.
If they dont have tasks by the end of the night, we can move ourselves down into DR mode #2 (possessed by UTXO). That mode disregards taskweight, but still requires UTXO Weight * RAC to equal magnitude.
