Everyone,

Considering that Stratis is also in CryptoBE, Electra getting the most views there is quite an achievement. ..

Wondering how much of that is just due to my searching for the rules of staking... Wink

- several 100 hits a day certainly... Sad

As Electra is working properly at the moment there is less need to do so.

There are still quite a few people who feel that staking is slowing down to much... but it's not remarkable for everyone to the same extend... (see below).

Still i am having problems with staking. It does not go smooth. I keep my system on, but sometimes it is giving 6K then the other day 2K on 3million coins.

Am i the only one?

Staking isn't working that good as I was expecting... i stake like 60 + millions in 6 chunks of 10 mill, and i get like 50-60k each day which is not 50%

Well - let's summarize what I got from digging so much with the explorer...

There are by far not all adresses staking...

From the top 8 on the Richlist:

#1, #5 and #7 aren't staking at all (about 22 % of all ECA combined...)
#2 + #4 (combined >10%) are staking permanently - these accounts are already broken down in to many relatively small segments. This has the effect, that although they get many blocks, they are more and more falling back - they get significantly less reward than would be appropriate, because they would need more blocks - OR LARGER INPUTS -. But the BIAS of the system to SLOW DOWN still occasionally splits relatively small inputs (reward them EARLY - so that they have not to big maturity to split) while rewarding much larger inputs LATER - maturity is often >20 days...

#3 - an account with initially rater large blocks (solo mining during bonanza) was offline from July 14th to August 4. On coming online August 4, it started to catch up (large blocks with huge maturity - therefore many extra coins - and only later, those large blocks started to get split - so this account still gets a lot of reward with relatively few blocks, due to still large inputs...

#6, #8 and #16 - of which at least 2 - if not all 3 - are likely to be controlled by the dev - started out with inputs of XXL or XXXL size. While they stake regularly, the lag behind far less than #2 and #4 - because they have still - on average - much larger inputs - which reach lower maturity before staking - and than usually still split... (So those accounts suffer less from the slowing down due excess splitting - yet) So - if im correct about those (at least partly) - being the accounts of the dev - he would feel this less - at least at the moment...

Generally, the network weight is still climbing significantly, a clear sign that the lag is increasing, making it more an more difficult to get a fair reward.

(I haven't been a able to trace the staking FORMULA, although I tried to find it in the source code... - so im doing guessing from observation only...)

And to "Kiddo" - re-arranging the inputs BEFORE they stake probably (except with very small inputs) doesn't help much - it just resets the counter to zero...

+1 I am #20 and i don't get POS reward i am supposed to receive

So... with that said the dev have something to work at. To ballance the PoS system to allow little holders like me and others and to fix it to give us the 50% APR stated in the OP.
