coin control is a expert tool that is not required to be used at dmd diamond
in fact what utahjohn do is by a lot of micromanagement increase his pos earning around 1%
because he make sure he instant merge coin pile after minting at 7 days together to a big pile again
if one or a few people to this it create no danger
if all people would do this it just counter the pos mechanism
because it create the risc of "nothing to stake" at network
the split coin pile mechanic and later merge coin pile mechanic have one reason
to automatic cut the coins in network into enought pieces that always someone have something to mint
and merge coin piles together if enought pieces are existing (it dedect this by coin age)
this way never a status appear where noone have coin-age to spend minting and pos diff would fall very low and open doors for harmfull activities
Warning this post may make you think, if you blindly follow DMD,
Please ignore as it may give you a headache.What UtahJohn is doing is smarter than just leaving the coins alone ,as he will gain more diamonds at a slightly faster rate, with very little effort. But just to be clear DMD Devs added the coin control feature, so you have no one to blame but yourselves. Also your merge coin pile feature decreases the number of total blocks in your network, so it also weakens DMD POS security, a feature you have no one to blame but yourselves.
The Real Reason you will have Nothing to Stake is you don't have enough coins to run POS by itself safely.
That is the real reason behind the reactor, an attempt to make your POS more secure.
Once your POW miners start dropping out , your security will depend on your POS.
At the limited # of coins (trying to be scarce), also Devs decision , decent security will not be possible with POS alone.
As pow miners drop , that also will become a security issue, leaving you open to a 51% attack on the POW side. The only way to keep DMD safe is to keep the POW mining at a level where they stay , because POS wise you don't have enough coins to secure the network otherwise.
Just my trolling for the day.
Ignore if it does not make sense to you.Please Return to the Praise Diamond Hour.
