a very good feature to the site would be that user can filter what coins he wants to be displayed, all, sha256 or scrypt.

It seems MemeCoin is stuck at 0.098 difficulty for quite some time while the real coin has been fluctuating between 0.16..0.32 in reality making it ca 2-2.5x less profitable. The block count is way down too on the coinchoose.com. Right now MemeCoin:

    "blocks" : 156717,
    "difficulty" : 0.20253732,

which makes it ~2x less profitable or ~ equal to LTC without taking into account orphans (which are a cool 30%).

I'll clear up the formatting today.  The PHP function I was using was doing that silly notation....

It's scientific notation, E-5 means you need to move the value 5 places to the right so 1.37E-5 = 0.0000137

Cool! Thanks a lot for the explanation.  Smiley

‘Try to be nice’
Actually - that could be a really cool and universal pricing method in the future for Crypto -?


Coffee 1.2e5 BTC

Cake - 1.0e3 LTC

Bike - 1.3e2 NBL

Don't forget the negative symbol as you need to move the decimal point in the opposite direction for values raised to a positive power. 120,000 BTC is one pricey cup of coffee. Wink

Scientific notation is usually displayed more like this:
1.2 x 105 (raised to a positive power) = 120,000
1.2 x 10-5 (raised to a negative power) = 0.000012

It's just easier in programming terms to use En to represent x 10n

Yes I understand it well  , but it's more logical to simplify it , obviously if it goes positive its positive , so the minus is not needed , and as it is a symbolic notation , for a price , not science , it could still work .  

The point is you just want people to have to visualize zeros ,  so even  "Bike 1.3z4 "

So that just says " add 4 zeros to the front "  

I'm willing to bet that most people don't know scientific notation , so its just as easy to try to make something new and more simple .

I was top of class electronics , didn't pursue it as a trade. Except for here and there .

Well, it may be a stupid question, but could someone please explain what all those strange (at least for me) numbers like 1.37E-5 mean? How the fuck to read them on the spot?

It's scientific notation, E-5 means you need to move the value 5 places to the right so 1.37E-5 = 0.0000137

Scientific notation is not really that easy to compare at a glance but this could be easily changed to display in standard notation if sal002 passed the value through the number_format() function. eg:
Code:

$value
=1.37E-5;

echo 
number_format($value8);

?>

Result:
Code:
0.00001370

Or additionally removing unnecessary trailing zeros:
Code:

$value
=1.37E-5;

echo 
rtrim(number_format($value8), 0);

?>

Result:
Code:
0.0000137

Would it be easy to make the BTC price show in mBTC? This seems to be a perfect example where mBTC better shows the price of these fraction coins.

I'll add the new new coins (with the API info - thanks!) and fix the GLDCoin logo today. 

Still working on that status chart Smiley

How about some information on the number of blocks to the next difficulty retarget, or some estimate on how long until the next difficulty retarget? If I can figure that info out, it has a lot of influence on whether I'll switch over to another coin...
