Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1467. (Read 4670622 times)

My OS is win7 64bit ,not linux.

How use this blockchain.bin ? Daemon tools tells Error in command line.

They have never been necessary for regular functioning - if you have a specific use-case for either you'll have to compile them from source:)

An important attribute for money is limited and knowable supply. I also support cooperation between coins but at the same time there needs to be some limit to what are legitimate coins and what are not. Otherwise you could just expand money supply at will.

In my books, BTC is legitimate due to being the first.

XMR is the legitimate one among cryptonote coins (and by extension - of all anon tech).

There are no other market niches that would support a coin.


2.0 tech such as NXT, XCP maybe good but they should be clearly branded to be something else than coins.

I support both. XMR has more market capitalization. But BBR has better blockchain.

(after reading the last 3 or so pages)

More facts. Less drama.


Also: it should be pretty obvious by now to everyone supporting either XMR or BBR that there is more to be gained from cooperation between (devs & communities of) those two coins than from hostility between them.


EDIT: iCEBREAKER provided a pretty solid summary on the previous page, imo.

This is completely off-topic:

Monero emission rate closed form

TL;DR: Let a = 2^-20 * 10^-12, then block reward is R_n = M a (1 - a)ⁿ

While absentmindedly reading the OP for the first time in months and admiring what it has become in the meantime, I couldn't help notice that the emission rate is still advertised in that clunky recurrence relation with additional statistics and a graph to illustrate what's going on. While the statistics and graph are certainly well-received, they should not be necessary to convey what everybody feels or "knows" or knows: that Monero has a simple exponentially decreasing emission rate. So I've decided in a burst of melancholia to solve it with pen and paper, as opposed to, say, Mathematica's RSolve or similar.

Proof

Let M = 2⁶⁴ - 1 be the total number of atomic units
Let a = 2^-20 * 10^-12 be the constant that appears in the original definition
Assuming genesis block is number 0
Let R_n be the block reward of block number n

The original recursive definition is that

R_n+1 = (M - R₀ - R₁ - R₂ - ... - R_n) a
R_n+1 = M a - R₀ a - R₁ a - R₂ a - ... - R_n a

So let's expand a few terms

R₀ = M a
R₁ = M a - M a²
R₂ = M a - 2 M a² + M a³
R₃ = M a - 3 M a² + 3 M a³ - M a⁴
...

That looks familiar, doesn't it? Let's try to generalize

R_n = M a - n M a² + ^n(n-1)/₂ M a³ - ... + (-1)ⁿ M aⁿ⁺¹)
R_n = M a (1 - n a + ^n(n-1)/₂ a² - ... + (-1)ⁿ aⁿ)
R_n = M a (1 - a)ⁿ (*)

Huh. Now let's prove it with strong induction (see base cases above)

Assuming R₀, R₁, ..., R_n satisfy (*) above

R_n+1 = M a - R₀ a - R₁ a - R₂ a - ... - R_n a
R_n+1 = M a - M a² - M a² (1 - a) - M a² (1 - a)²- ... - M a² (1 - a)ⁿ
R_n+1 = M a - M a² (1 + (1 - a) + (1 - a)² + ... + (1 - a)ⁿ)
R_n+1 = M a - M a² (1 - (1 - a)ⁿ⁺¹) / (1 - (1 - a))
R_n+1 = M a - M a (1 - (1 - a)ⁿ⁺¹)
R_n+1 = M a ( 1 - (1 - (1 - a)ⁿ⁺¹))
R_n+1 = M a (1 - a)ⁿ⁺¹

QED

Ahhh, feels like 6th grade again...

monero.win.x64.latest.zip
Where are simpleminer.exe & connectivity_tool.exe? So I have use my old ones or this files are not unnecessary anymore?   

Can we still expect per KB fees until September ~15th?

Good job if everything else is now working properly again.

The Drooling Masses® has successfully updated the blockchain and the windows binaries. 

Now the version # needs to be added to the tread title.

No. If you pay over $0.1/kWH, you will not cover your electricity cost.

fluffypony, thank you good man! 

thanks.
how is the profit now?Could I earn my power fee mining by GPU?

Nothing goes wrong, you're synchronising from scratch. If you want to avoid this you can use a blockchain bootstrap as indicated in the OP.

anything goes wrong with SYNCHRONIZATION?

This is the current Windows blockchain on the correct fork.

is this a new variant of blockchain?
Please, somebody answer already... 

ok,thanks.I'll keep mining and hope I could earn my power fee.

It go well all the way. You lost time by stopped mining.
