I stupidly moved all wonderfully aged 27 clams over the exchange initially, so now I'm playing catchup

I've been thinking about this.

If I move coins from one wallet to another, I have to wait 510 blocks until they will start staking again. I also have to wait 510 blocks after they last staked before I can move them, so there will be a minimum of 1020 blocks between staking in one wallet and staking in the next.

It looks to me like I could hard-code the staking routine so that the output(s) of the staking transaction are different than the inputs - then my coins would move at the same time as they stake, saving me 510 blocks of waiting time.

Questions:

1) would that work from a technical point of view?

2) if so, would such behaviour be frowned upon from a human point of view?

This is a KEY problem with all staking coins... and kills their liquidity.

In the Real World...
When I buy or transfer Stock Certificates to a broker...
I maintain legal ownership of the stock and receive all dividends.

But in the Crypto World...
Is deliberately structured so that scammers + exchanges can rip off ordinary people...
Wallets need to be modified with a "escrow segregated" category...
So exchanges only act as escrow, but do not actually own the coins...
This would also eliminate that massive security problems like VRC.

As for stakes...
I got about 0.8 is stakes in 3 days on 50 clams = 600-700% interest compounded...
This may actually be sustainable as more and more people "discover" clams over time...
And if the hash rate goes up 10 fold or 100 fold, etc.

Last night I got a super-stake of 275 clams. Damn.
