Cracking the math, Pt. 2

So, the big question now is, how to use all of this information. The most pressing thought would be is it safe to reindex a given blog, even if the value is on the rise. I don't have data points to give exact numbers, but early analysis indicates that as the multiplier is about 7 days from reaching its peak, a blog's incoming value can actually drop about 3% in a day, and still see an increase in the outgoing value, after that a blog can lose less value each day to keep the same outgoing (obviously increasing values here would be very helpful), and on the other side of the curve, about 7 days after the multiplier peaks, a blog would have to increase in value almost 4% over the prior day to keep the same outgoing value.

Going back to the 1st table from Part 1, we can determine that the blog only gained 2.14% from the 30th to the 31st. Had the blog instead increased about 2.37% (B$51,258,207.783), it would have been able to keep the same outgoing value.

So, based on this info, if a blog will gain at least 4% in value, it should be safe to reindex, regardless. If the blog will gain less than 4%, it will be important to determine where in the multiplier cycle B$ is to avoid potentially costly mistakes.
