AN UPDATE CONCERNING UPCOMING FORK AND INFLATIONHello everyone, I have been working hard running numbers and testing code to come up with a long term solution to inflation. As it sits now, HyperStake will not be inflationary in the long term. Because there is a maximum reward, HyperStake is only allowed to add a fixed amount of coins to the money supply everyday. As the money supply grows, the maximum amount added remains constant and therefore becomes less and less % of the money supply every day.
Although the long run will not be inflationary, the short run can be. The focus of my attention has been to slow down the short run's inflation and have a smoother transition into the long run. My thoughts have been to cut the maximum subsidy down to 500, which would have little if any impact on most of us because a block of 1600 could still get full reward if staked on day 9. I have also desired to increase the block speed to slow down the amount of coins added to the supply per day.
So far in my testing, changing the maximum has proved quite easy and the chain accepts it. Changing the block speed has been a bit more difficult and requires modification to elements in kernel modifier, which is tricky business. For this reason I am going to need more time to fully test these changes.
NEW WALLET RELEASE v1.0.3 - NOT MANDATORYSince the fork might take a week or two more to properly test everything, I am going to release the latest version of the wallet now... I just can't keep these fancy new logos made by Kussaka and Zeewolf to myself anymore. The wallet also adds a checkwallet and repairwallet button that rescans the wallet for orphans and bad transactions and clears them. It also now displays the network stake weight when you hover over the minting icon, even if you are not minting. There is a new command "getmoneysupply" that allows you to look up the money supply of a specific block in the debug window.
