HR as far as I understand it 20% of the blocks are ASIC, 20% are Scrypt, 60% are GPU (I do not know if these are equally distributed).

That's not the issue. The block find distribution is 20/20/20/20/20. About that there is no doubt.

The question is how does MultiShield adjust each algo's diff and as a function of exactly what? We know that before the most recent hardfork, global network hashrate (that is the combined total of the 5 algos) was key, and that all the algos diffs adjusted in response to changes in aggregate hashrate. The question is how much did that change? To what precise degree are the algos currently independent, and to what degree are they still inter-dependent?

I suggest reading the source code. ...with basic coding skills and the source code mentioned (that is freely available to the public), anyone can confirm it.

Forgive me mental, your post was just brought to my attention.

Read the code to find your answer? Are you off your rocker?

Could anyone imagine someone from Ubuntu saying something like that? From Redhat? SUSE? Any of the principal distros?

Could anyone imagine that such important, critical and key information isn't even documented in the first place?

And then, when someone asks, the answers are first to ignore, second to be flippant, third to seriously suggest it's not important, fourth to disqualify and personally attack the person asking . . .

Does that sound normal to everyone?

We, the end users should read the code to answers central questions about how DigiByte works?


Are you serious? (And don't play coy by saying I didn't quote your entire post - the rest was superfluous, and certainly didn't answer the questions.)

Again, is there anyone on the DigiByte team professional enough to start that basic documentation that everyone can understand by putting the following code in layman's terms instead of suggesting we all need to learn to code? (I make that a general question to all, not just to you, since Jared did the same thing, albeit more indirectly and with much more obfuscation.

Code:
//Global retarget
CBigNum bnNew;
bnNew.SetCompact(pindexPrevAlgo->nBits);

bnNew *= nActualTimespan;
bnNew /= nAveragingTargetTimespanV4;

//Per-algo retarget
int nAdjustments = pindexPrevAlgo->nHeight + NUM_ALGOS - 1 - pindexLast->nHeight;
if (nAdjustments > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < nAdjustments; i++)
{
bnNew *= 100;
bnNew /= (100 + nLocalTargetAdjustment);
}
}
else if (nAdjustments < 0)//make it easier
{
for (int i = 0; i < -nAdjustments; i++)
{
bnNew *= (100 + nLocalTargetAdjustment);
bnNew /= 100;
}
}

How many people are truly interested in something like this? My guess is there's not that many and our time is best spent elsewhere but if that proves to be wrong I'm sure we could sort something out.

I would just like to add that HR's tone and way of communicating isn't very inviting. Your not really motivating anyone by demanding answers (as none of us work for you etc.) with the way your asking your questions. Maybe if you had been nicer this would've all been answered and resolved ages ago.

P.S. I think in the 21st century everyone should no at least a tiny lil bit of code Tongue
You could just trust that the code is completely safe but the whole point of it being OS is that you can check yourself or should you just trust the people that say its ok? DigiByte’s objective is not to teach the community how to code but they can learn and educate themselves if they want to because it is all there to examine and I’m sure you will find people that will take the time to answer genuine requests for information by someone that has taken the time to do that and then asks nicely.
What is going on here lately is farcical and if you ask me a deliberate attempt to undermine this project, it’s not anything new really. On top of that you have BCT moderators, assuming they are actual BCT moderators and not someone who has hacked this site, removing legitimate posts skewing the conversations and making them appear out of context! So anyone not keeping up with stuff as it happens is unlikely to end up informed anyway!
