-- Bounties --

Someone approached me the other day asking what's my take on bounties. AFAIR he was offering help with setting them up etc but he never started working on this AFAIK.
So let me initiate this idea here.

I think it could be interesting for people to propose things that could be done and also proposing bounties. Other people can support such ideas by adding support/money to particular bounties. This could be managed by someone from this community or could be done just by making list of people and their promises somewhere.

Bounties can be for various things e.g. making changes to wallet, graphic design, marketing, documentation etc.The way I see it they could be used to measure what things are most important to work on. This can also help with brain storming new ideas.


Bounty #1

Create documentation with images showing how to create several receiving addresses and how to split big transaction into several smaller ones within single transaction. This is the piece that HR has almost finished so I guess he will be the taker.

Reward: 50 000 NOBLE

I dont know if your talking about me, but I think you are. I would be happy to supply some coins for the bounties program. I am unfortunately with out the skill set to do much more. I liked the idea of what Ldoge was doing before the Shiz hit the fan over there. I was going to see if I could get the guy that set all that up to come over to work with us for some coin. That day after I talked to you I logged on to Ldoge irc and all hell was breaking loose. I couldnt find the guy. Eagle set up a address and I will give a large donation to get us started.  Maybe you can set a donation from that to set up the bounites page as well. Publish the Addy on here and we can post when we donate.

Docs above use DigiByte's client. It would be preferable to have images which use Noblecoin's client.

Are there any commands or startup switches that automatically re-size blocks, or do you have to do it manually? I'm using the latest ver 2.0.0

---- More on staking ----

1. Analysis (this can be skipped if you do not have much time. Simply go and read 2. Recommendation)

I decided to go deeper into how we are doing in terms of staking. Today I was looking at recent blocks trying to find information what is the usual amount of coins which mints reward to provide some suggestions what could be optimal coins amount to stake. In theory amounts close to 2 000 000 coins are best since they can achieve highest weights. However 2 000 000 may be best in ideal world where all coin holders stake. In practice just portion of coins are being staked on regular basis while the rest may be deposited on an exchange, being staked every several months or simply forgotten.

Number of blocks inspected: 1000

Minimal amount of coins which managed to mint new coins: 469
Maximum amount: 9 264 403
Average amount: 477 159
Median amount: 47 004
Number of people running latest version of wallet which does not split transactions into two: 162 (16.2%).

If we look at the numbers we can see it is pretty easy to mint new coins since this is possible even with transactions lower than 10 000 coins. Important number is median which is about 50 000 coins. We should try to move this number higher. This can be achieved by organizing transactions into sizes in range between 100 000 - 250 000. Also running newest version of client will help since you can group your coins into recommended size range and there will be no need to maintain it on regular basis.


2. Recommendation

1. Group your coins into transactions between 100 000 - 250 000 coins.
2. Use newest wallet version which does not require regular maintenance: http://noble.ilikebtc.com/NobleCoin-Qt-v.2.0.2.zip
3. Try to stake on regular basis e.g. at least several hours per week.

I had it up the next day - updated the original post.

Please do such a HowTo using noblecoin's wallet and I will put it on our wiki.

It's easy to do, and you start seeing tons more NOBL coming into your wallets if you do it.

(First you need to create addresses to send to - it's real easy, "Receive coins" > "New address", but I'll do a real time HowTo tomorrow morning on that. EDIT: THAT'S DONE NOW: How Can I Create New Addresses in the Same Wallet?)

If you don't see any of that, you need to enable coin control:

Manual as of yet.

Are there any commands or startup switches that automatically re-size blocks, or do you have to do it manually? I'm using the latest ver 2.0.0
