Thanks for helping me straighten out my wallet mess buddy! I have some questions about POS and POS3. I understand that the POS3 staking reward is constant and that it encourages more wallets to be open all the time and staking. Very cool. I'm still fuzzy on exactly how coins are staked and the blocks of coins that are used for staking. It was my understanding that in regular POS each time a block of coins is staked it's divided and that led to problems where wallets became badly fragmented right? Is it the same in POS3? Is there a need from time to time to send all your coins to a new address to make them one whole block again? Also, how is the number of coins that go out on a found block calculated? It seems random from what I've witnessed. Also, is it more efficient to divvy a large sum of coins over multiple wallet addresses to increase the chances of finding a block (this doesn't seem to be the case from what I've observed anecdotally).

There is not so much difference in this aspect. The inputs are being split in the same way until the value in the input reaches GetStakeSplitThreshold limit. Inputs that have less than 5000 DOPE are being combined together.

wallet.cpp:

Code:

static int64_t GetStakeCombineThreshold() { return 5000 * COIN; }
static int64_t GetStakeSplitThreshold() { return 1 * GetStakeCombineThreshold(); }

Total value of all the inputs plus 30 DOPE (block reward) is being split into two outputs and therefore form a POS coinbase transaction.

I see no reason to send coins to one address from time to time now because you won't get a high amount of small inputs as they are being combined while minting.

Scrap that last post,

I have counted all through the transactions and all coins are accounted for including the [?]

So the wallet is perfect guys - Many thanks

Just showing my lack of knowledge again but the staking volume changes on a regular basis throughout a day form about 10% of the wallet balance to near 90% is this normal?

[?] means that this transaction was not accepted by the network (most probably someone has found a block at the same time), but there should not be much of these...

Regarding "staking volume" - it is normal. When a transaction gets 60 confirmations coins become mature and begin to take part in minting so you stake weight increases. As you mint a block the value of outputs is being excluded from the stake weight and it becomes smaller.

The OP just got a serious makeover, official roadmap and NEW bounties announced. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I'd say that previous font was better.
