New proposed mining algorithm:
SignedHeader = MinerPrivateKey.sign( SHA256( header ) )
HashSignedHeader = SHA256( SignedHeader )
PublicKeyCheck = ECC_RECOVER_PUBLIC_KEY( SignedHeader.Signature, HashSignedHeader )
HASH = SHA256( PublicKeyCheck )

EDIT: Got it, I missed this "To mine you must produce a signature of the block header such the the hash of the header + signature is less than some threshold."

Interesting. Couldn’t that lead to miners/pools avoiding to include transactions at all?
Therefore they wouldn't have to deal with the changing hashMerkleRoot in the header.
So they could do the first three lines once for each new block and and offload the rest to the pool workers.

I might be wrong as I am not familiar with the bitshares header structure.
But I like the idea though.

Can you shed some light how comes you are only interested in DNS.
And buying it after launch does not explain it at all. You are interested in distribution that does not make sense if you just bought your DNS on the exchange?
Just want to understand the situation.
thanks!

I am not only interested in DNS. But I am especially interested in DNS because I maintain (good old) nameservers for quite some time now and was very enthusiastic about the project. As I started to dig into the project and set up my first delegate I also invested a larger amount in DNS, which was quite a lot for me. The project had the endorsement of BM and had toast as dev lead. As I also wanted to get involved it just seemed logical to do so.

As you might know, there is not much left of that investment. You don't have to quote any rules of investing to me. I know how it works.
I would never complain about the recent BTS price for example, because that's just how markets work.
But the way DNS's price was crushed is different. Everybody agreed to that. As a result BM told everyone that DNS holders will be 'made whole'.
If you then check your sharedrop ratio and realize that's not true and nobody even bothered to tell, that just feels wrong.

The announcement was that the compensation will be paid to the individual address with claimed pre announcement balance.
Later on there was also the idea to pay the exchanges some to also compensate them.

This just shifted to we gave most of it to the exchanges without (explicitly) telling anyone.
Instead of just complaining I try to understand why this turned out so different than announced . Hence the question.
I am trying to come up with a fix myself. Haven't found one, yet. But I now understand (in parts) why it was right to shift the funds to btc38/the exchanges.

Did that help to break out of the loop? If not, let me know I don't want to leave your brain in uncomfortable loops

in this case you are wrong bobb! it was clear from the day of the ANN. Not worth to talk again. Toast has nothing to do with it.

No I am not   But you are also right. I am aware that this is just about claimed DNS before BM's post. 
What has changed is that the whole meaning of the thread you just quoted is off the table.
So if you bought any DNS before the BM's post you won't get the compensation that was suggested.

Sorry cleaning out I3's funds was not enough / that we caused you to expect more

'not enough' does not really cut it. It is close nothing compared to what you let people believe. 
And you just said you were fully aware that this was the case but told people they will be made whole anyway.

I am speechless. So you are telling me the mistake was that I believed BM's judgement?
And you knew it was nonsense to say "making people whole" but you did it anyway?

BM underestimated how much BTS he had for poeple people to lose. He used the words "made them whole" but if you ran the numbers even at the time you would see that that is nonsense.

BM announcing an allocation where DNS got half of its market cap's worth is the only "wrong" thing here.

I just assumed with all the talk of "making people whole" that people would get something close to the same # of DNS they held during the announcement. So if I had 10,000 non-genesis DNS in my wallet during the announcement, for some reason I assumed that "being made whole" would involve giving me the equivalent of 10,000 more DNS.

Actually, I don't know how it can be understood in any other way than you just put it.
After BM's announcement the price of DNS dropped more than 50% and after that toast apologized and told everyone they will be made whole.
Could you please elaborate why the following changed everything?

Despite cleaning out I3's DNS, this does not actually add up to much extra because BM underestimated how much stake exchanges had started trading but not claimed (buyers on BTC38).

It was known how much DNS was claimed and everyone was told as long as you moved your funds to your wallet you will be made whole.
Just have look at the thread yourself: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10381.0

If I understand correctly you decided to shift the compensation more to BTC38 instead of compensating individual addresses holding already claimed DNS?
On which basis was this decided?

Plainly said you went from "making people whole" to ''not giving numbers because it'll just make you feel bad because it's not much"
without telling anyone?

Really sorry to keep you busy with this. But this is either very wrong or I missed something.
I would be happy to hear it is the latter

@toast: How can I map/link the incoming transactions to the keys that are holding the DNS?
Or how can I check how many DNS a key holds? rtfm + a pointer will work for me

Further, is it correct that the DNS which have been moved before BM's post should have gotten some compensation and therefore should show a higher sharedrop ratio than 0.0166/0.0186?

Thanks!

I take it this is only for the Nov 5 snapshot, and it doesn't include the AGS rescue funds that I3 is giving people who had non-genesis balance during BM's announcement.

This should have everything.

Mhh, for me it does not add up:

If https://bitbalance.azurewebsites.net/ is correct my DNS sharedrop ratio is 0.0166.
Even though more than 85% of my DNS balance was withdrawn from bter (before BM's post).

Or am I missing something?
