hey team quick question, I downloaded the blockchain but the wallet is still 48 weeks behind. Did this happen to anyone? is there an updated file? for the blockchain?

***update*** the wallet is up and running and already received rewards in my first two days. Smooth wallet. I see big potential in the future Cool

Yes, the wallet is rock solid and a pleasure to use

Staking fragments your stack into a million specks of dust...
So using Coin Control to reconstitute bigger blocks may optimize performance.

What is optimal size of coin stack?
The reward amount doesn't match the size of stack.
I can see smaller stack returns bigger reward, so I though it is pretty much random.
So I just combined all coins as a stack, but usually it's not a strategy.
The very next reward is usually very small.
Do I miss anything?

I may be wrong here because there are various stake methods apparently, so here goes...

If you have 100 coins in your wallet and it is split up into 3 inputs of say 60, 30 and 10 (total of 100) they all earn the same interest rate. However, because the 60 coin input has more coins it will stake more often. The 30 and 10 coin inputs will take longer to stake and give a seemingly bigger reward because they took longer to stake. If you average everything out it adds up to 230%, but if you aren't paying attention it looks random.
If you shut your wallet down for a month and then turn it on again, the stake reward is based on the last time it staked, so you would get 30+ days when it finally stakes.

If you use coin control to keep all your coins in a single block the rewards will flow in a bit more steadily. Over time there is no difference unless you opted for small inputs, in which case they may take longer to stake than normal.

I think you are right about the size of stack and time to take also the amount of staking reward.
I also think the total staking rate per year is much more than 230% when you consider the compounding effect.

I have 112 swing trades and all staking in a spreadsheet for 76 days, so...

For the entire 76 days my annualized staking return is 308%...
But for the last 31 days my annualized staking return is 523%

For the latter I am staking about 1.5% of all XPTX...
And about once per day I merge small blocks (20-40) into medium blocks of about 200.

At any given time only 50-60% of all XPTX is staked... so that may increase returns for those that stake.
