Automatically Adjusting N based on Std Dev of D #37

Open zawy12 opened 5 years ago

zawy12 commented 5 years ago

I recently noticed coins who need a lower D have an unexpectedly high Std Dev of their D, and vice versa. After a lot of testing and watching many live coins, it seems resilient. This can enable the algorithm to automatically adjust N to optimize performance.

This is a place holder for a possible future article on this.
