Patience? Lol. More than year I patientlly wait when I can use my coins freezed on Cryptopia. And still waiting patiently, when those who had coins in their wallet skim the cream off.
As to me, there is no cream to speak about... I don't know about masternodes (assume they are earning well), but staking does not give me any reward at all - not a single stake for several days with wallet opened 24/7 and well-connected. The amount is not big (less than 1000 HLM), so I don't expect much, but zero reward (just one orphan stake during 5-6 days) show that earning estimations on the explorer website are
completely false (they suggest 3-10 HLM daily by staking with my amount)..
I assume all rewards are going to big stakers, with smaller ones getting nothing - nowhere near values shown at calculator. Bad implementation of PoS, or bug in calculator?
EDIT: just checked once again - bingo!!! I got one stake finally! 2.5 HLM after staking for 5-6 days. Still pathetic, compared to calculator values...
Calculator on heliumchain.info calculates only the masternode rewards which are correct. With 1000 HLM you would expect to see an average of 1 stake in 24 hours. It's a lottery though so going 5-6 days without a reward could easily be the case with some bad luck.
