HERTZ is an upcoming Algorithm Based Asset (ABA) which is an market pegged asset (MPA) with a formula which modifies the price feed to oscillate using a sine wave. [Want to know more?](https://steemit.com/hertz/@cm-steem/what-is-the-hertz-algorithm-based-asset)

# Price feed script changes
* Created a [price feed verification script](https://github.com/BTS-CM/scripts/blob/master/hertz-verification.py)! Using this, I was able to confirm that the phase was correctly set & Wednesdays line up as the primary Hz day for the next 10 years.
* Created dedicated python functions for improved dynamic use. Anyone can fork the price feed scripts, change these values and begin publishing price feeds for your issued ABA.
* Pushed updates to Xeroc & Wackou's price feed script PRs.

# Spreadsheet changes
* Improved timestamp accuracy (now accounts for change in period)
* Applied new default variables
* Included proof of phase validity (10 years of wednesdays with only values 0.5, 1.0 & 1.5).

# Variable changes
* Amplitude = 1/3 (No longer 1/2)
* Period = 28 days (No longer 30.43, to line up with the typical work week).
* Phase = < 1 day (To make wednesday the primary Hz day).

# Community updates
* I've spoken during the last two (40 & 41) bitshares hangouts about HERTZ.

# TODO
* Poll multiple full nodes for the BTS/USD settlement price, so as to harden script from compromised nodes.
* Find willing high-frequency (at least a couple times per day) price feed publishers.
* Improve upon the hertz-verification.py script
   * Output charts within the script.
   * Possibly pull BTS historical data to plot how HERTZ would have faired against past price movements.
* Further consider the amplitude value (still too high?)
* Run initially in Bitshares testnet.
* Wait for BSIP-0018 to go live prior to running HERTZ asset in production.
