If the max. supply is 18,446,744,073,709 FBF, why is the reward of mining so low?
~ 150 Coins with 1KH/s
It is based on current difficulty.
Yeah thanks for stating the obvious sherlock.
Why is the difficulty already so high if the max supply is 18,446,744,073,709 FBF?
Answering your original question, on why the mined block reward it´s so "low":
First of all there are a few thing to be considered.
1- Max supply :Total amount of coins to be emitted: Most of CryptoNote-based coins use (uint64_t)(-1) (equals to 18446744073709551616).
Mind the decimal, its the same amount of units as other cryptonote coins, they put the decimal in a different place.
18,446,744.073709551616 -12 (monero)
184,467,440,737.09551616 -8 (bytecoin)
18,446,744,073,709.551616 -6 (FreelaBit)
2-Block Reward:
Block Reward has been set at 10FBF per block. But mining is not the only source of coin "minting", since new coins are minted on deposits as well, think pos staking..
3-Difficulty doesn´t actually depends or correlate to Total Coin Max Supply....
Actual hashrate does--->> The higher the hashrate the higher the difficulty.
4- 150FBF for 1Kh/s only is not that bad.
