Fork?
Yes it's more effective to have sliding window than fixed point recalc.
We have historical milestone moving average doing what satoshi want,
but not done for some reason. It goes to 100% digital discreae filter(it use
sliding window with weights for each value), named FIR (finite impulse
response), it can't be cause of not stable oscilations(as fixed point recalc too)
on it's own (take read about FIR) and it is good.
There are IIR as well, but it can cause unstable oscilations(have resonant freqencies)
with wrong parameters those freqencies can be if workind diapasone.
IIR can have very fast response.
And the most futuristic idea will be discreate PID regulator, which can be implemented
as IIR (think so).
But most important now is to get community support and not get 2
CATcoins. If Cryptsy delist it, it will be desaster.
What kr105 think about one more fork?
If you implement it only in pool side(not hard fork) it can be that diff on "forked
wersion will be lower than network (how you deal with it?).
If you not going hard fork, there is not need to scare peoples with this thing.
I can do reserch in matlab (P=1-e^-lambda*t, only need to calc lambda from
hashpower and diff(need simple equation) to do research on hashpower stepping
and filtering).
If you gonna hard fork, leave this idea for now, wait comminity reaction.
Hard forks must be organiszed if we want have CATcoin alive.
