Hey dev,
I'm a bit confused about the coin supply/mining. Am i reading correctly that the maximum supply is 18 trillion?? And it only awards 10 coins per block every 2 minutes? If so, how can this ever be profitable to mine?
Thanks
Maximum FBF Supply & Deposits:
18,446,744,073,709 FBF
Decimal Points: 6
Minimum transaction fee: 0.001
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)
Thanks, I understand these details already, what I am saying is that with 18 trillion supply, and only 10 coins per block every 2 mins, this means it probably costs 100x the electricity to mine than the actual value of the coins that I will get.
Because how much can each coin even be worth when you have an 18 trillion supply? It has to be less than 1 satoshi even, otherwise you have a market cap higher than bitcoin.
