Does XQN have some sort of code in it that tries to do us a favor by recombining small blocks together?  That is what it appears.  Seems like the sort of thing a well meaning developer would include if he didn't realize just how important it is to those who stake consistently to have complete control over their coins.

Those who stake consistently and think about these sorts of things are seeking any edge possible.  Obviously, all PoS coins have their own unique parameters.  By paying attention to these parameters, we seek to stake our coins as efficiently as possible and gain even a small edge over the other stakers.  Optimum block size is normally a very important factor to consider when seeking an efficient staking strategy.  Anything that takes away our control of the size of our blocks of coins is going to cause an experienced staker to look in your direction like you just ripped a really loud and exceptionally smelly fart.

As there is no cap on time for accumulating coin age, whatever mechanism is coded into XQN that causes blocks of coins to recombine or sweep together is completely unnecessary and counter productive.  In the next release, I vote for the kiss (keep it simple stupid!) approach to solving the issue.  Just remove whatever code there is that recombines and auto-combines blocks of coins.

Maybe sure all the transactions are like this one.



Nothing fancy, no recombination.  A block of coins stakes, the reward is added on and the single block becomes 2.  That's it.  Simple and easy.
