How do you calculate estimated staking reward and time to generate reward for n amount of coins ?
I answer you, I hope you will help someone else (as this question is quite recurring) :
http://www.cryptonode.co/This link should be put in the OP if it's asked a lot, I didn't find any info about staking rewards, only about the masternodes.
BTW, if the calculator says 4days to reward and I stake for 3days without reward then I restart the PC, open and unlock the wallet again, will I have to wait 1day or 4day ? (I know these numbers are averages but the staking itself is picked by random or it is measured, who stakes for how long and who is next in row to get a reward ?)
you can input the numbers of coins you have and it will give you an approximate time until you get a stake.
You have to keep the wallet open as staking rewards is based on time X number of coins, which gives a value. the higher the closer you are to get a stake. However if you close the wallet, the time value restart. As such you have to keep it open all the time, and btw it's what secure the network.
I hope it helped. happy staking.
I see, so there is no luck in staking, it's time staking * number of coins you own and once you get a reward you get back to the bottom of the list. Thanks
