Every 16 seconds the client loops through your unspent outputs, checks which ones are old enough (>510 blocks since last stake, 4 hours since last transaction) and does a simple sha256 hash for each output. Since you only have 2 unspent outputs, that's basically 2 hashes. That takes approximately 0 seconds...


Here's the extra debugging version:

https://github.com/dooglus/clams/releases/tag/debug_staking_tag

Are you able to build from that? I guess you're downloading the whole .tar.gz archive each time, so that's where you'll find it.

If you build and run that, you'll see a bunch of extra debug logging. Each time a block is staked by the network you'll see a log like:


To stake a block, the hash of the output that is trying to stake must be lower than the target hash. In this case 38f... is less than 2d4d... (it's one character shorter) and so it wins the right to stake.

Then every 16 seconds you'll see your outputs trying to stake:


I have 18 unspent outputs, but I've cut the log off after the first 2 failed to stake. In both cases the hash is much bigger than the target, and so those outputs didn't get to stake.


Of course.
