| JoinMarket yield generators earn money on an unpredictable basis. It's worth calculating | |
| the equivalent interest rate as if joinmarket was a savings account. | |
| We can make a model of a bank account that takes deposits and withdrawals at any time and | |
| where the balance accumulates interest, then the parameters from a JoinMarket yield-generator | |
| wallet can be inputted to obtain the equivalent interest rate. | |
| We know that the present value of a bank account (P) grows to the future value (F) determined | |
| by the interest rate per unit time (r) and time (t) | |

JoinMarket release 0.2.0 ameliorates this snooping attack. It is a protocol-breaking change so everyone must update which we anticipate may take some time.
https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket/blob/master/doc/release-notes-0.2.0.md
Looks like enough people have updated and there's plenty of liquidity now.
