Dogecoin random block reward NOT actually random and some people are "cheating"
- hooo 13y agoModifying the reward structure changes the economics of the currency. They are following the incentive structure outlined by the currency's creators. I'm not sure this would be considered cheating...
- Scaevolus 13y agoThere are a fair number of altcoins with random rewards. I bet similar attacks are possible on them as well.
- gus_massa 13y agoI made a graph of the values in the post: http://imgur.com/a/o4jZt http://imgur.com/a/o4jZt The linear regression has R^2=0,5. It’s a low value and the points are not very well aligned. I think that this is suspicious, but someone has to do a real statistical analysis to be sure that this is a real problem and not an unlucky coincidence. On the other hand, even if this is not happening yet, it looks like a interesting idea for the bad people.
