Quick Analysis

Aedifex:

My quick analysis of the task, splitting it up into components, is the following:

• finding out how to code the smart contract on the platform we're using, incl. learning the coding language, how to use the classes/modules we need, how to build or load the contract onto the blockchain etc.

• working out how to get the electricity costs as input for the contract

• working out the actual algorithm that splits the rewards as required

• putting it all together, writing the contract and testing it

• things that come along the way, e.g. learning to work together on a project like this, learning to use github etc.

The first point about working out how to do things and write the contract could well be time consuming and frustrating. I suggest those of us with a bit of programming experience tackle this together and constantly share what we find out in order to make it go as smoothly and easily as possible.

Ed should probably take the lead on the electricity costs.

I reckon the algorithm will be the easiest part.
