Missing lucky stakes?

According to my analysis, the following blocks should have generated lucky stakes if the input coins were > 50k, 100k, or 300k;

5959
5965
5950
5865
5754
5800
5727
5730


5960

5844
5971
5794


The first group, in red, all had inputs large enough but generated normal stakes.  The one in the middle is the only one that lucky staked.  The third group all had inputs too small.  

There's probably a simple explanation, something obvious I'm just not seeing but is anybody able to explain why, based on the code in github, the blocks in red did not produce lucky stakes?


PM this to dev.

In the spirit of openness can he not respond here?

To be honest I dumped my 400k when I discovered this morning that it had staked one of those blocks in red and got 2.xx BTX.  I wish you all luck with it but there have just been too many issues with this coin for me to keep the faith.  It's not just BTX, that was the final straw though... I dumped every altcoin I had this morning, too many scams and no real world adoption and I've got too much else to concentrate on.


If you are going to use your "analysis," you need to tell everyone what your analysis is.

The lucky staking is simply selection of a random number within 100 numbers and if you select one below 3, you win the block based on the size of your stack (assuming it meets minimum threshold).  I preferred the previous lucky staking model because I earned more with less blocks previously.  To state you can accurately predict what blocks should have hit is not believable without something to substantiate it.

Any analysis you've done will help the developer confirm one way or the other.
