What is the discrepancy b/w the 100 MN payouts and the lower random amounts?

For example. I was doing 500-600 per day, and then today I have had only one 100 block, and the rest have been dust. Just trying to figure out why you sometimes get large rewards, and other times you get dust rewards.

Hi Dev,

I am currently running 8 MNs in separate windows VPS. About 12 hours ago, I restarted all my MNs since they stopped receiving rewards after I withdrew some tokens but kept balances above 10K. Ialso took your advice and added masternodesoftlock=1 to my configs. However since then, all but 1 MN has received MN rewards ( 100 tokens ). It has received staking rewards several times but not masternode rewards. Should I renew the privatekey and restart? Or just let it run for 24 hours?

To clarify, Masternodes earn 50% of all mining rewards, that includes both PoS and PoW.

PoW are currently at 200 Mag. 100 Mag goes to masternode winner each block. PoS would vary depending on staking which is computed in coin-day units x 7% / 365. So basically at the moment these PoS rewards are quite low but could later on earn more than PoW blocks when wallets are staking more coins. (a 5-day old 100K stash would reward as much as a PoW block).

Since the network is pretty new, staking occurs with small amounts and these are the rewards you get. When your MN is selected as winner you have a 50/50 chance to be rewarded with PoW or PoS. Both types would reset your rank.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks for the clarification, but I think I found the problem with that one masternode. Running the command "masternode status" shows it with status 2, all my other masternodes show status 1. When re-issued masternode start, it changed status to 1. Now the question is, what causes it change to status 2?
