I haven't noticed any bugs either and my latest POS minting, earlier today, worked like a dream ... pop ... pop ... pop, one after another. I've experimented with large and small block sizes, and large and small numbers of blocks. If the weight is there, POS interest happens fairly quickly. On large block sizes e.g. <7,000, I wait a day over maturation (10 days + 1). On smaller blocks (200-500), three to five days over maturation. That seems to work well for me. However, when there are a very large number of blocks, full POS minting can be spread over the best part of a full day. Interestingly, smaller blocks (e.g. 250) can sometimes be quicker to mint than larger blocks (e.g. 500), even though the larger blocks were established slightly earlier than the smaller blocks.

It's great to hear about moves to improve what is already, in my opinion, one of the best coins available. I I know most are interested in just minting the POS interest at the moment, but looking to the future, I'm wondering how Hobonickels could be used in the real world as a form of barter. Perhaps there are practical things each one of us could do such as spreading the word to communities and groups who could benefit by using HBN. At some point we should do some brainstorming and maybe form an informal group to look at marketing the use of Hobonickels.
