Re: Proposal from a macroeconomist for an optimal crypto-currency

Then the seller (no matter how risk averse) will wish to participate in the swap/repo at least if Rb>=1+rb and rr>=Rr-1

the seller would participate in the swap/repo if Rb>=1+rb and rr<=Rr-1, only if his gain on one leg is greater than the loss on the other leg. No need to gain on both legs.

In fact, suppose the real interests rates of Repocoin and Bitcoin were rr and rb. Currently, Alice holds B bitcoins and Bob holds B*P repocoins (P is the current price of repocoin in one unit bitcoin). Alice and Bob make a one week swap deal, and will get B * rb bitcoins and B * P * rr repocoins after the deal respectively. In a equilibrium market, the new price of repocoin one week later will be P * (rr / rb).

However, in my opinion, the real interests rates of both coins can't be independently revealed by the market. Even a well functional market can only reveal the relation between rr and rb, more specifically, rr / rb. When I am putting or accepting an order with 3 quantities: B, rr and rb, another order with 0.5B, 2rr and 2rb is almost same to me. The only difference is the latter has a leverage of 2 times.

Regarding the modified proposal, I believe it is not a repo deal any more, it's more like a fx swap deal. As a result, Rr is not real repo rate of repocoin, but a function of the rates of both coins. If so, how could we apply these numbers to adjust repocoin's PoS interests rates?

Thank you for your excellent work.
Seems examples can't run properly in python2.7, but OK in py3.3.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. It's quite clear and I get it now. Smiley
BTW: I wonder is there any way to unlock a wallet?


I copied my wallet to another computer, then generate a new address, and received some coins with the new address, the balance added. But I can't see any change in my original computer and balance. Why? Doesn't the wallet recognise the new address generated by its copy?
Thank you for any help.

The wallet only knows what's in it. If you copied the wallet and it did not have the new address yet, your new address was created on your new wallet. To get it on the other PC you have to re-copy your latest copy of the wallet and move it back there.

Wallet files do not sync with each other -- this is why it's so important to back up often.

Question: Why the number of PPC mined upto now exceeded the number of BTC?

It's wired since PPC is much newer, and its blocks are much less than BTC.
