I just staked my first clam! But... how am I sure it is splitting up my total now?
Search for the transaction ID of the stake at khashier.com. Look at the outputs. Is there one big output or several smaller ones, with all but one equal to your splitsize?
After a few days, 500 clams staked 1 clam.. is that pretty normal?
I recently
ran an experiment and found that you need around 1370 coins to stake once per day. So 500 CLAMs should stake about every 2.5 days on average. There's a lot of luck involved, so you could stake several times per day, or go 10 days without staking anything. But in the long run it should balance out.
