Haven't checked the math, but sounds about right to me. The high profit you mention is absorbed by the labour and capital costs I would think.

Thanks! 500MMC tip on its way to you.

I think its fully functional and useful enough now to recommend to our users.

Thinking of some future potential improvements -

1. Advising user if MMC address not configured and refusing to start mining.
2. Prompting for Wifi network selection / password (I guess difficult to auto configure wifi hardware)
3. GPU mining (I guess difficult to auto configure gpu drivers)
4. Not sure if it's safe to remove the USB after starting mining - seems to work ok on one machine, not on another. Would be useful for booting up a room full of PCs from a single USB drive. Maybe copying OS to RAM disk or similar.

Hmm - an approval rating for different officers could be interesting . . . I think you'd just have a vote for either approve/disapprove . . and look at the percentages.

AV=1 is taken from config file, just change it to 0 for auto-tuning. I will make it default in next release.

Thanks - the ideal would be to have it start with AV=0, then write the results to the config so that next time it starts with the best config.

For AES-NI part, I don't get it. Script is looking for aes flags in /proc/cpuinfo. Can you check this file if it contains 'aes' flag?

Not sure how to do that. Looks like we need a more reliable way to find out about AES support - or maybe start with AES-NI switched on, and if that process fails, switch to AES-NI off.

Come on Freetrade - why you always steal my ideas? This is just like my Distributed Autonomous Machine Network program...

LOL - yes, unless stated otherwise, all my good ideas come from my evil nemesis MaxPWR. Thanks Max, you're a continual inspiration to me.

Okay - latest test

Uses correct chipset YAM (ivy-bridge)
Uses correct memory amount 7GB
Uses correct threads (0)

Fails to detect AES-NI (i get 0.2 HPM rather than 10HPM!)
Uses AV=1 . . . shouldn't it be AV=0 for fine tuning?

Money is Memory

I've had some thoughts on it and I have a model that I think would work well - I give you -

The Distributed Autonomous Non-Profit. (DAN, so named, just to tease him)

Based on MemoryCoin (which itself could be viewed as a DAN) with the following differences -

1. 100% Premined - distributed to trusted organizations in the sector, or a benevolent philanthropist
2. 100% Proof-of-Stake (because mining is wasteful)
3. Angels (instead of officers, varying numbers with varying salaries)
4. Proxy voting (so Philanthropists can delegate governance)

Here's how it works -

1. Angels - these are the people or organizations who are working to forward the DAN's manifesto. They announce their projects or goals and ask for votes. If they win a position, they receive a salary in the DAN's shares which they have discretion to use to further their projects and goals.

2. Philanthropists - these are the people who buy and hold the DAN's shares. By keeping shares off the market it boosts the DAN's share price, boosting funds for the Angels. They can keep score with other Philanthropists and never lose their investment - they can sell it anytime if they lose confidence in the DAN, or pass it onto their heirs. They can even increase their investment by supporting DAN's that other Philanthropists later want to support. Their contribution is the risk that the DAN's share price declines.

3. Governors - someone needs to keep an eye on the Angels to make sure they're delivering on their promises. Governors can ask for a Philanthropist's proxies - a Philanthropist therefore doesn't need to get involved with voting directly for Angels, they just need a Governor that they trust, and vote a proxy. A Governor might also be an Angel and vice versa.

Angels are motivated to deliver to keep Governors voting for them.
Governors are motivated to choose good Angels so that Philanthropists give them their proxies.
Philanthropists are motivated to choose good Governors to keep their investment valuable.
