Man i love the new wallet look.

Working on multiple fronts but in a few days, we should have some people introducing themselves to the community, they are part of the initiative to start a small company so I can diversify operations. Also  having a company gives us access to things we did not have before, especially on the BCR/GBP/USD/EUR exchange front.

Very interesting Cool

Taking longer than expected to complete the update.


No worries. During forum downtime it was a chance to recharge a little. I am waiting on the update to build a node, but I still have to clear a few things off my desk.

I may or may not be one of the wallets on Bittrex with enough to start a BN.

Anyway, I notice someone in Cambridge has a Banknode running now.  I'm in the area and need help setting one up/someone to do it for me if you're up for it...  I'm open to options.  Flat monthly fee, fee per update, etc.  I really just want to be able to set it and forget about it for now.  Once more banking features are available I'd get more involved. 

just ask the dev to set you up on one of his nodes

Great work!!

I am working in the background, just not posting much because its a WIP, and unless you understand Java and c++, it would just be gibberish.

However I have made a quick write up of current ideas , progress and direction. PM me your email if you wish to read it.

What I would love to do is ditch the DS frame and the Recent Transactions frame, stick one bigger frame in there - this I can do - and inside the new frame put the current Transactions page - this I have no clue how to do...  Embarrassed   ... yet.  Tongue

WIP...


Anyone have any strong opinions on this? I always thought the default BTC wallet had a lot of wasted space on the overviewpage, and the recent transactions thing was just filler.

i wonder about those big bag holders on bittrex, their coins are just sitting on the exchange, rather than spinning up a Bn and getting some coins in the meantime. If the distirbution graph is correct then someone is sitting on 3 Bns worth, and never sold/bought a single coin more, then also sits on it rather than making a profit off it.

And another one who can start another 2 BN's ... he has 539570 BCR

So I am wondering if this graph is correct then.  Maybe some glitch.  Also, it seems like only ~30 wallets have any BCR in them.  there are more than 30 people that post on this topic and I cant believe anyone who posts dosent have a wallet on bittrex; so maybe there is some sort of display artifact?

Also another thought about mining.  One thing that prevented this coin from being hurt in the early stages was selection of the momentum algo; you cant go rent a lot of this hash power and then dump, so people who are mining are probably wanting to keep most of their coins....to get a bank node etc.  This has lead to a successful early distribution (IMO) relative to other launches.

However, now that we are lacking a solo miner of equal capability to the pool miner, I have to wonder if this is in the short term going to have some people shy away from mining.  Granted there is not a perfect relationship to cost and difficulty to mine and hash-rate, but these are factors.  My bottom line is, if the mining situation is hurting the adoption or propagation of this coin it should be addressed in due coarse.

EDIT: At current difficulty (as averaged over the last 5 days) Owning a Bank node produces about as much BCR as 2 tahiti cores or about 5 pitcarn cores.  This is between 600-750 watts consistent power.  Both would have produced on the order of 3k BCR based on where I am sitting.  So that's about 1.2% the value of the bank node or an interest rate of 87% annually(and no compounding).  So if you think BCR will be around in a year owning a banknode (or 2) is a pretty good deal, especially compared with mining. 

It will be interesting to see how this math changes as bank nodes are added, and hopefully as hashpower increases.  I think the week or so of network trouble drove off some miners who have yet to return, that's ok but it means miners may be willing to sell for less in the near term.

@ 1000 sats this is the most profitable to mine.

Sorry, but how do you compute the network hashrate ?
I change the code in .../p2pool-bcr/p2pool/web.py

Code:
    def get_global_stats():
        # averaged over last hour
        if node.tracker.get_height(node.best_share_var.value) < 10:
            return None
        lookbehind = min(node.tracker.get_height(node.best_share_var.value), 3600//node.net.SHARE_PERIOD)

        nonstale_hash_rate = p2pool_data.get_pool_attempts_per_second(node.tracker, node.best_share_var.value, lookbehind)
        stale_prop = p2pool_data.get_average_stale_prop(node.tracker, node.best_share_var.value, lookbehind)
        diff = bitcoin_data.target_to_difficulty(wb.current_work.value['bits'].target)
        return dict(
            pool_nonstale_hash_rate=nonstale_hash_rate,
            pool_hash_rate=nonstale_hash_rate/(1 - stale_prop),
            pool_stale_prop=stale_prop,
            min_difficulty=bitcoin_data.target_to_difficulty(node.tracker.items[node.best_share_var.value].max_target),
            network_block_difficulty=diff,
            network_hashrate=(diff * 2**32 // node.net.PARENT.BLOCK_PERIOD),
        )

I don't know why you use this formula "network_hashrate=(diff * 2**32 // node.net.PARENT.BLOCK_PERIOD),", but never, ever, the network hashrate have surpassed 25-27Kh/s, now is around 3Kh/s.

By dint of sacrificing several goats to the Elder Gods I have got the tx symbols back, lined up, and fitting in the recent transactions area:



Might shrink 'em a bit.

Any chance to remove the darksend this time round?

17 banknodes already Smiley

Although the order book does not look briliant Cheesy


I wonder who is selling those thousands all the time. Do we know who is no.2 wallet?

There is someone mining 20K BCR a day.

Best.
Now, even if there is a problem with p2pool.website and bcrp2pool.website, there are other 2 pools to maintain active the network !
This I call decentralization Smiley
It is not right. P2pools must operate in one p2p network.
Now the has increased difficulty of the coin:
Quote
BCR network hashrate (estimate):    81.67 KH/s.
Greatly reducing the chance to get a block in solo.
I return parameters, the problem is not in my pool.

That would be an incorrect assumption. Now, imagine if my nodes were dependent on yours when that orphan cropped up, it would have stalled the network indefinitely.

p2pool can be configured to function as single unit or part of a system, mine operate as both to ensure complete redundancy.

So I will make a half comment on this, as a miner and as a newly minted bank node owner.

If you have a few GPUs laying around right now mining BCR (outside of flashing new launches) is I believe the most cost effective.  For a comparison @800 sats BCR is still about 2x as lucrative as say DGB which is considered by many to be a good coin to mine.  So if you want to mine and insta-sell this is a good coin to do it on.

Based on my experience cost typically lags hash rate (i.e. difficulty to mine/acquire)

Also, once a person has a bank node they might be willing to sell of some of the coins they mine/acquire, feeling that 250k is enough.

The early rise we saw from 1k to ~3k was people buying heavily to acquire early banknode, those people may now try to recoup their costs.  When we broke 2.5k I sold all my BCR because that was a 4-5x multiple off what the cost to acquire through mining was, this was a signal to me that price was over inflated; I was able to get a bank-node cause then I bought back below 1.2k.

What looks good about this project is that the community around it has developed slowly and organically, no massive pumps/dumps.  As more features are included and word grows the difficulty to mine will rise and the cost will likely follow.  The question at that point is what happens next.  I would not be surprised if in the near term the price dances from 500-1.2k.  In reality based on cost to acquire relative to other coins BCR is trading at a premium.  If community continues to grow I also expect that price manipulation will start, someone will probably start to acquire and then dump.

More concerned with price I want to see the number of wallets that hold BCR increase...also would like to see a 2nd exchange in the future...time will tell and there have been bumps, but the latest release is pretty cool.
