lol superhereo's.
Yes, if you wanna go hardcore, smaller smaller smaller. At least 80% of my blocks are less then 2k and about 50% less then 1.5k to 500.... but you do need a shit ton of coins (100k?) to really make that strategy work.
I keep scratching my head when people on cryptsy troll box are complaining about not staking often enough with 500k+ HYP and blocks of 10-15k each. MAybe just goes to show more blocks is better.
Don't you need both ?
More tickets more chances but when stacks compete does the one with high weight wins from low weight stacks ?
Not necessarily. The one with high weight only has more chances, it doesn't mean that it will win. Every block has a unique set of parameters that are hashed, and the result depends only on chance. A hash can be much lower than the bits threshold even for a block with a small weight (while other big blocks haven't produced such a small hash).
Yes I know, I also have rewards coming in after just 9 or 10 days.
But still in general and to use your words :
"The one with high weight only has more chances, it doesn't mean that it will win"
And that's what matters when it comes trying to max out your staking.
So the more stacks and the higher the weight the better.
