I’ll have a look, thank you!

Is this on by default after v1.5.0?

I’ve looked into alexandrite and photon before but to be honest, the install is quite messy since I didn’t really know what I was doing back then. Makes it pretty hard to figure out how to properly set these up and I’d rather start over on a new server.

The site is still being attacked. Biggest issue is the lemmy-ui crashing under the load, the server itself could just about handle it. I’ve talked to Digilol who I’ll likely hire to move town to a new server and set up proper .onion support but the current server is still pre-paid for 200 more days and even after the move it’s still possible that the lemmy-ui would go down anyways :/

You can also do this with featherwallet, just get the download link from getmonero.org so you don’t click on the phishing site.

Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn’t want to connect without it.

If I understand your question right, I think you’re looking for the inverse cumulative distribution function (a.k.a. quantile function) of the Erlang distribution.

The random length of time to mine the next block has an exponential distribution with rate parameter 1/t. The length of time to mine n blocks has an Erlang distribution with shape parameter n and rate parameter 1/t.

The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution. The Erlang distribution’s shape parameter must be an integer, but the Gamma distribution’s shape parameter can be any positive real number. We can use the Gamma distribution if Erlang isn’t given to us by our calculator.

You would compute T in the R language with:

qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n

The results of this simulation match the closed-form computation:

t <- 120
n <- 15
p <- 0.4

set.seed(314)

mining.times <- matrix(rexp(n * 100000, rate = 1/t), ncol = n)

mining.times <- rowSums(mining.times)

quantile(mining.times/n, probs = p)

qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
# Divide by n to get the mean instead of the total

Sometimes Trocador when I need to pay for something that doesn’t accept Monero. If you use the ref-link in the monero.town sidebar it also helps fund the site without swaps costing any extra!
