Not PPS, but RBPPS (round based pay per share), also known as "proportional" payout system

I still think its a worthwhile discussion so I repost here to see what you guys maybe think:

that is a most interesting discussion which opened up a lot of thoughts about difficulty algorhitms and mining in general. The discussion on moving averages brought up some analogies in my sphere of expertise which is decision support tools for supply chain / inventory optimisation.Which includes a variety of forecast algos where I see some synergies in terms of measuring volatility and smoothing of spikes. Running multiple moving averages with different horizons to weigh the std deviation of each to smooth out peaks and troughs come to mind. Interesting topic. Thanks for the link. I shall think about it some more.

Maybe contribute to the discussion as well, if you have relevant knowledge

Been reading. Deep topic. Do we have historical hashrates stored anywhere? If so : were there any known attacks and can they be related to said hashrate history?

So far: As these events are initiated by at least one bad actor and as such are random from the observers perspective I shall deviate from my earlier view which drew analogies to demand history etc etc. This seems more motorracing related. Specifically suspension. What I understand so far is that it seems the issue of rebalancing the difficulty algo dynamically opens all sorts of opportunity to oscillate difficulty and take advantage at each end of the spectrum. Which gets me to back to suspension. What it seems to me is that we have the spring but we don't yet have the dampers which deaden the spring. Not sure if thats a great analogy but it resonates with me in terms of the randomness of the attack and the response the network has to give. I shall go away and look at some stuff on active suspensions and their approach. Just a hunch but it may be that an attack can be treated like a bump in the road......

edit: looking at this just for a sniff

Can Monero use Sztorc's ideas for "smart-contract income-smoothing" and "scheduled blocks" to completely removes need for pools?

If yes, that would also remove the need to make p2pool work with Cryptonote.

My pool is a clone.  There are many out there in the web that look alike. The core I am using has PPS implemented from what I know. I am digging to understand more ...  

Hey,
can you give a feedback for this new monero project ?

Smooth is an official Dev.

Yes, that is what I meant by "move". So, it is not really move, but spreading to other platforms as well. I have no argument against spreading the discussion to other platforms too and I welcome the fact BCT is still among these platforms. Who are the Monero developers in this forum, by the way? We all know, this platform has a kind of spaghetti view, but I want to know what answers are "official" and what are not.

What I'm saying is you are asking for two incomparable things, there is no way for anyone to get anything private in their regular email but that is what you say we need to provide. It just cannot be done. The amount of privacy you have is inversely proportional the the ease of use. Doing what you ask is akin to using a web wallet which is fine if you only send/store small amounts. But for true security and max privacy that setup cannot exist with the mass used email services. That is my point.


My reply's were from this, not from this side discussion, apparently we are in agreement that it cannot be done unless you allow your privacy to become compromised.

Not sure why, but network hashrate is ATH.

where did you get the payout scheme info from the web site is similar to moneropool.com

CHECK IT.

I'm not sure what your point is. Maybe you didn't see upthread where I mentioned the intent was to attract people who aren't otherwise interested in privacy or crypto. It has nothing to do with privacy. It would just be an easy way to send money to friends.

Monero is holding well but we will see a better entry point soon! Bitcoin Black swan event!!!

Yup just like everyone that uses fagbook has privacy. :rolleyes:

You have to go the extra mile, that will never change period.

The priorities of the members of this forum, their security measures, their recognition of the risk factors in crypto, etc are not shared by the public at large.
There are lots of people, even today, who have never even heard of bitcoin.  I've met such people.
It's going to require thinking outside the geek box to bring the public into crypto.  What you know about crypto security is less important than what you know about human nature, because less than one percent of the population is ever going to do anything demanding like use gpg.

Feel free to give a feedback. Made it today.

Yes, I understand that.

Expecting regular people to switch email providers just so I can send them a few XMR to play with defeats the purpose of the service.

The whole point is for it to work with everyone's existing email and phone number. They can receive payments without even knowing about the service.
