I noticed there's not as much information regarding staking with the Silk wallet as with some others. For instance, getstakinginfo doesn't return your staking weight, the network staking weight nor an expected time till next stake. Am I right in thinking Silk uses PoS v3 and so coin age isn't a factor?
Yes, no coin age as per the white paper.
A. Taking the Coin Age Out of the Equation.
The most secure way to perform a Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
system is by having as many nodes online as possible.
The more nodes that are staking, the less possibility for
security issues like 51% attacks, and the faster the actual
network will perform transactions through these nodes.
Thus, taking out the coin age will require all nodes to be
online more to get their stake reward. Saving up coin
age is no longer a possibility with the new system that
calculates the chance of staking as follows:
proofhash < coins · target
Note that the system above will not change the actual stake reward.
Thanks, I thought that was the case. Unfortunately staking doesn't seem to be working in my wallet. The system clock's correct, the coins have been there for well over an hour, I've got plenty of connections to the network, the wallet is unlocked, there's no .conf file so no config options that'd be interfering and getstakinginfo returns true for enabled and staking. But it's not producing blocks. According to the explorer most blocks are being found by a single address, which I guess makes sense if there aren't that many wallets staking. But I don't have
much less SLK in my own wallet and certainly the outputs I'm staking with are larger because they haven't been split yet. It's been a few hours now.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar? And any idea what might be causing it? (Ubuntu 16.04 compiled from source)
