Mathematical review of buffer theory

[monk3y]

omg what the f*ck is going on ?
i don't understand what's the point of all this reading m8
i hope at least u had fun writing it
cheers

I for one applaud your efforts In practice, SB is really completely irrelevant, as a 1:1 ratio has only cosmetic value most of the time, and the important figures are, as you say, MB and PUB. There is definitely a case for encouraging the use of these figures in trades. Now how about formulating a relationship between buffers and invite value to standardize what a certain buffer is worth on a tracker at a certain level? That's your next challenge

I salute you my friend, you seem to understand my theory better than I do
You made my day

but

now that I need some time to figure out what it means

oh I get it, well, buffer value depends on difficulty of seeding and that's a whole new area of research, I will think about it the next time I'm bored. lol

Yea the idea is to decide how big of a buffer you need on a level 3 tracker to make it equivalent in value to an invite to a level 4 tracker.

i hate math

damn, i took the night one this morning

lol... i didn't even bother reading after i saw... bunch of derivations ... nething usefull in that mess???

Very useful in fact. Looks like myself and prima are up against it here I'll put it as simply as I can. Currently people advertise buffers as how many GB can be downloaded before you reach a ratio of 1. However, this is not actually important in practice. What IS important is 2 things, each of which will vary from tracker to tracker: How much can I download before receiving a warning on my account? (typically a ratio between 0.5 and 1) How much can I download before I lose my Power User status? These are more useful figures to someone considering trading.

I get the formulas, not what you said though
