I am staking 12.000 clams from desktop wallet. Time expected to earn 1 clam is 1 hour (says wallet) But I am not getting more than 5-8 each day.
Is that ok.
Not sure where that calculation comes from but it isn't correct.
You are staking 12k claims. The reward per staked block is 1 clam. If you were to get one block every hour that would be 1/60 of the total, so by simple math the the network total staked would be 720k. That's off by half or more.
IMO you should never trust a wallets numbers. Bitcoin wallet recommends like 2x-10x the needed fee to push a transaction too.
FreeBitcoins.com rocket game is staking around 13,000 CLAM atm. We just crossed 100 blocks staked last night.
Total Stakes: 107
Total CLAM: 107.00310000
Orphan Count: 20
The reason our orphan count was so high was due to our CLAM client not communicating with peers properly and JD beating us because of our error. It's been fixed though.
I would imagine our orphan count stays pretty low on our way to 1000 blocks.
