Re: [CGA] Cryptographic Anomaly

I'd like to suggest a different block reward system: Instead of reward every x block, reward every block, but devide the reward (1) by the diff. If the diff is less than 3, 3 is taken.

Examples:
Diff = 1

Code:

1/3 = 0.333333333

Block Reward: 0.333333333

Diff = 10

Code:

1/10 = 0.1

Block Reward: 0.100000000

Diff = 200

Code:

1/200 = 0.005

Block Reward: 0.005

This would have some advantages:

The rewards wouldn't change at all over time.
Every block pays (rewarding long-time-miners).
If a multi pool hits the coin, the diff raises within 2 blocks, the multi pool wouldn't be able to mine much coins.

I have decided to do something similar to this:

Code:

else if(block > ### ) //Update 1.1.2.3
   {
   if(diff < 3)
   {
   nSubsidy = 1 / 3 * COIN; //Every 3rd block makes 1 CGA (just split among 3 blocks)
   }

   else if(diff > 3)
   {
   if (remain < 1) //Bonus block
   {
   nSubsidy = 1 * COIN;
   }
   else // Normal blocks are 1/diff
   {
   nSubsidy = 1 / diff * COIN;
   }
   }
   }

With this, CGA will come into existence very close to how it has been since the last update. The difference is that instead of getting a full coin in 1 block, the 1 coin is split up among (what would of been) the 0 blocks. I am not sure if I want to keep the "bonus block", it may encourage MP's to take advantage of CGA. My other options are to "reverse" the "bonus block" and make it a 0 block, or just get rid of it all together.

This isn't my final fix. I will be taking out Kimoto's Gravity Well to reduce the risk of an reorg attack, but I have decided to not switch the alog from scrypt. I feel that it will be too big of a change and will only delay the inevitable.

Please let me know what you think.
