1.I get why you are trying to get it down to an exact difficulty number...but it doesn't seem important to me, to get it exact.
2.You have your ball park numbers. Who cares about exact, how does that help you or a potential customer?
3.If difficulty is x and you say it should take you 3 days, so you charge $x, what happens if you find it in 1 hour? Do you refund the customer for 71 hours?
4.Or what if it takes you 6 days to find, do you go back to customer and charge extra?
The numbers are just numbers, they give us an estimate. That is all.
Just like mining.
5If a coin's network hashrate is 70GH/s and I have 7GH/s, then by math, I should find a block on average, 1 out of every 10. But that does not happen.
6.Also, so JLP codes an awesome program and you want to dog him out about 1 aspect...pivots? You won't someone to admit he was wrong, lol. Really? How about you code a vanitysearch program that is 100% accurate and release it so we can "test" it?
7.I could be wrong here, but did you say your site will check around 24,000 MKey/s? What program will your site be using? 24,000 MKey/s does not seem like a lot. I have an 8 card rig that can do that.
1 If someone does a trailing number with pivots and it takes 256 * 58 * 58 longer than 58 * 58 * 58 with a 341% difference for the same amount of digits.
from a business aspect its helps us from misquoting , If you contact a broker for 2 s19's for $10,000 he agrees and shakes on it, but he contacts you a day later saying he can only get you 1 for $10,000 thats bad business, and youve lost a customer and a customer reference.
2 Our competitors offer the following prefix for 85 euros (~$92)
11111111 If I submitted that order the following would likely happen
I would get an email apologizing and that it cannot be done for that price. Possibly offered a refund.
I would get the prefix at some point in time while the operator runs at a major loss.
This is why quotes are so important and pinpoint accuracy is crucial ball park numbers don't work here.
3 No that is why we consider overall averaging. (Loyce broke this down pretty well)
4 Also no we consider overall averaging and is also why we desire as much accuracy as possible. There is also a
mean pricing quota that compensates for luck on our end.(Loyce broke this down pretty well)
5 if your coins networks stayed at 70gh and you stayed at 7gh I can say with confidence your average block find will be about 10%~ overall
6 I don't want anyone to admit its wrong , I know its wrong. Im not harping JLVS as its by far my favorite program, (I wouldn't have spent 16 months making a program around it if I didn't)
But to poke the bear so to speak VanityGen is 100% accurate pivots or not.
7 I don't care how fast your car is if your not trying to race. Remember this service is being designed for the retail investor. And in most situations will be free to the endpoint user.
we also wont be disclosing total key counts across the farm(s).
With that being said JLVS wrote an amazing program.
We utilize it instead of vanitygen due to the key counts.
We need to be accurate so we can realistically provide proper services, We want to give out certain difficulties for free.
We want to be the definitive split key wallet provider in this sector. In order to do this we need to factor all things that can go wrong from the customers point of view.
