Calculating the proper share multiplier #27
Description
According to this:
It appears many of the share multipliers used in coins.json may be inaccurate. Take Monacoin, for example:
MonaCoin powLimit
https://github.com/monacoinproject/monacoin/blob/7d14bb50c95b237ea6179797914deb5deab6499b/src/chainparams.cpp#L83
Bitcoin powLimit
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/2068f089c8b7b90eb4557d3f67ea0f0ed2059a23/src/chainparams.cpp#L72
Calculation:
4096 (vs 256 in Coins.json)
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0x00000fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff+%2F+0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Is this the proper way to calculate the share multiplier, in your opinion?
(on a side note observation, 256 * 16 = 4096. Does that factor of 16 mean anything?)
