Ok, here's the list of upcoming changes for the calc:
Ok, here's the full breakdown for what's coming for the calc. Due to all of these recent announcements from Chris and things like the VTC switch. Here's my list if related issues/changes/updates to the calc site in the coming weeks:
Immediate Issues:
--------------------------
Regard Gen2 Pre-Orders
I will not be adding any mechanism to the calc for tracking the pre-order earnings. When we finally get the announced (and correct) payout for them, we'll all just need to figure out the formula for what a Gen2 Pre-Order Share is worth in terms of qASICs. When we all know what the payouts will be, i'll post a note with whatever formula you'd need to figure it out .
VTC Algo Switch
When it happens, it should be updated on the same day (depending on the timing and how much time that day I'll have). Worse case scenario would be that i'll do that update the following day. But we should be ready to go for the switch on the calc page. Now, on the ROI Tracker... there might be a few, unanticipated things that might affect the accuracy. But as always, i'll try to get those resolved if/when they come up.
The timing for this update is dependent on when Chris updates the final numbers for what the new power of DualMODs on VTC will be.
Upcoming Multiplication (Dec 24th)
Remember that you are responsible for updating your share count on your home page. The ROI tracker already has the mechanism to handle multiplications, so like last time, you don't need to change anything there. I'll post a note on the page when we're close to the date.
Obviously the timing of the multiplication is pretty bad (xmas eve), so I might not be able to make that update until the night of the 25th or maybe the 26th.
Gen 2 Shares
This will be a major addition to the back-end that i've already started working on. My goal is to have it in place for the calculator page when they come online (or shortly thereafter depending on when Chris tells us the final numbers and specific date to when they will be mining).
Initially it might function like the existing calculator, where you select which coin you are mining. BUT, I want to add a "Most Profitable" option that will switch the earnings estimates for you based on the most profitable coin for the week-to-date when you load the page. This will probably happen after they come online, but it's one of the things I really want to implement in January.
Other Features:
--------------------------
The Xardas Laziness Calculator
Once we get through all of these updates, I want to continue working on having the actual payouts displayed on the Calc on Fridays after Chris posts the farm payments... The plan is to have it display all-day Friday from when it's posted to the end of day. This way everyone can see what their actual payouts will be on Fridays (and i'll include the estimated numbers for the week as well, so you can see how accurate/inaccurate it was for the week).
Rewrite DRK estimate routines
This is still something I want to tackle, but all of these other changes are far more important. Will just stay on the "to-do list" for now...
There also have been a number of good, smaller suggestions that i'll look to implement after everything else is done.
