i wish there was an easier way to unit test for staking, but i dont fully understand what the kernel is doing to actually get the result of the scrypt blocks ( i guess i could mimic inputs now that i think about it, damnit) so really what is taking so long is i am syncing the blockchain for the 5th? time to see if my changes will work (50k) blocks to go. and that is what is taking so long.

actually i could do input output testing now that i think about it. why did i not do that earlier...... mistakes were made
