Team Status Report for 4-23

The accuracy measure for the entire system has been changed. Initially, the accuracy measure was how often the predictor was predicting to mine the coin that had the higher price change. The accuracy now is measured based on switching and scaling up the system. The profitability metric is conducted based on the expected revenue the mining pool will generate based on the hash rate that our system provides. The largest risk that lies with this change is that the mining pool data for revenue is technically given in 24 hour increments which is a much coarser granularity than the switching time that we are using for our system. This will be risk mitigated by keeping track of the different price points and using Gaussian noise to extrapolate the expected revenue. We can then create an expected revenue for what we would believe to be an ideal switching, with and without the 10 second switching.
