I plan to implement new staking ago to improve the staking efficiency by about 70-80% I also plan to put in other code fixes. I am toying with the idea of a hard fork to slow the chain down slightly, Bye set it to 3 mins instead of 1. But not sure about that. This would be similar work to HBN ver 2. About 80-120hrs work depending.
To be honest I wasn't looking for negotiations. My terms are pretty much as laid out. If everyone isn't on board, then no worries. Sounds like there are others who are ready and willing to take over.
Can you elaborate on the staking efficiency. People like Bottlecaps for the return they currently get while staking, if their returns are going to significantly drop I don't think they will be on board with the changes. However if it's to their benefit I think they will be all for it.
What I would like to see is a way to reward stakers who stake 24/7 and put those that only open their wallets for a few hours every month or two at a disadvantage. Their is also security risks involved when someone can drop a huge amount of weight on the network at once.
I'm not so sure on the 3min block either. While it would be good as a way to reduce orphan blocks, I feel their are more negatives to positives. It would help to increase the network weight but it would also reduce the amount staked. The network weight is growing exponentially and will shortly have the same effect as increasing block time anyway, especially if we can encourage more people to mint 24/7.
