There was also never a "test prime" or "test coins" that was another rumor/disinformation. The test node was actually just the first prime node to stake.

That wasn't a rumor. That was a direct statement from either Garza or Mordica (forgotten which).

So that was a lie.

Edit: It was Mordica.

This is our address that we are using to test staking with (as there have been some problems with the staking in the past week or so).

You can see on the blockchain looking at the other addresses the staking hasn't been working as expected so this is another node used for testing latest fixes.

Thanks.

So 50 Prime Nodes.

Currently there should be 49 active nodes.

Since private keys were leaked there could be more, I don't believe anyone was able to test the keys or prove they work due to the 125K barrier?

I'm looking through the code now. If they work, it should be possible to show that the codes are right without needing to stake. You'd have to see what algo it uses and show which key matches.

Yes, it appears to be staking at around 10%. This could be a fluke due to skipping stake for periods of time though. Keep in mind that the private keys were not all 100%/year, there were others as well. Not sure if the 10/20% keys are still functional after the code change on 4/20?

As of 4/20 all keys are 100%

New keys were not issued the rates for all previous keys was changed.

Thanks for clarifying that. Currently it would take 78 BTC worth of XPY to find out if these work. If the historical Paycoin Price Plunge continues at near the same rate it has been, this should be down to 1-3 BTC in a couple months. For that price I would try it, just for shits and giggles. Not that 100% continuously compounding interest would make you a profit when the coin is losing value so rapidly.

From the code, it looks like the 125,000 check is done on the outputs, so you'd need less than that to attempt a stake. It would depend on how much coin days you had. The relevant lines are:

if (GetValueOut() < MINIMUM_FOR_PRIMENODE)
return DoS(100, error("ConnectInputs() : credit doesn't meet requirement for primenode = %lld while you only have %lld", MINIMUM_FOR_PRIMENODE, GetValueOut()));

Note that it's comparing the output to the minimum (which is defined as 125,000 elsewhere). So if you have less than 125,000 but what you have plus what you generated in a stake is more, it will still be valid.
