So to effectively stake I should invest my CLAMs at Just-Dice? Is there any real downside to that?
I had thought they would constantly stake, but I only have my computer on for a few hours a day, so guess it isn't going to be worth it in the clam wallet.

I updated to the new wallet and now it says I should stake in 1 day! A big difference!

If you invest at Just-dice you will make more money, but you will be contributing to CLAM being centralized.

I had to see how this played out.

from 6/22 - 6/29 I staked 41.0029 clams the starting size was about 2450

So 7 day at an average of 5.8576 per day. Would give .00239 %

I always see .002% just staking on JD. which would be 4.9 clams per day.

So in my case staking alone is much better an extra 6.7 clams in 7 days. or 350 clams a year.

This was a small sample and your mileage may vary. But it does show that staking solo can be done and can compete with JD.

There were 2 orphans in the sample. And I believe one was when I was staking a new block of 250 clams and splitting the output into blocks of 5.

I think that took 2 tries.

Try this again.

Dates Start Balance Stakes Avg/Day Percentage Orphans

6/22- 6/28 (7 days) 2456 37.0027 5.2861 2.15% 2
6/29 -7/5 2493 26.0005 3.7144 1.49% 2

I'll try to keep this up for another 2 weeks, to see how variability comes into play. My stakes have been all over the board from a low of 2 per day to 8 per day. So over times we should see how it levels out.

This week I lost almost 48 hours of staking due to a self inflicted power problem / internal network issue.

This is one of the risks self staking carries...

7/6 - 7/12 2519 27.0009 3.8571 1.53% 4 - I think 2 of these were due to my own network issue.
