why not calculate nSubsidy in a simpler way?

                int64 nSubsidy = 5 * COIN;
      if(rand < 20000)      
           nSubsidy = 1 * COIN;
      else if(rand < 40000)   
           nSubsidy = 2 * COIN;
      else if(rand < 60000)   
           nSubsidy = 3 * COIN;
      else if(rand < 80000)   
          nSubsidy = 4 * COIN;
//or is it possible, that generateMTRandom returns something greater than 100000, and the subsidy remains 0, lol

facepalm 2:

why not calculate it even simpler?

int64 nSubsidy = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000) 20000 + 1;
//i suppose generateMTRandom returns a pseudorandom integer from 0 to it's second argument - 1, inclusive

int64 nSubsidy = generateMTRandom(seed, 5) + 1;

subsidy of a block is known, once the previous block is found. What could be better for forkhoppers?

It's not completely random but deterministic random. It uses the last block hash as a seed to generate a "random" number. The same number always results from a given seed so the network will stay synced.

Since none of your solutions actually serve to lower the order of operations or make any real contribution to the current code except for making it less readable, I will stay with this method. Your code is not better nor an improvement.

Hello,

I've tested setting it up myself on pools and didn't have any issues. I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is.

Having no idea about programming? You must be God himself to just know everything about people you never met.

Does your code offer any performance improvement over simple loops?

He didn't have anything to do with any of the code other than testing it.

Definitely.

So, a coin for americans, as most euros will not give a rat's ass about this to stay awake until so late.

heard "deterministic randomness", lol

there isn't much hype around or enthusiasm for this coin?

is it

1. the insanely monster premine?
2. just that there have been way too many coins released?
3. the rather mad time of day that it is being released?

Where did you find that this was premined?

The first 500 blocks have no reward.
