So here's a question... why is my stake weight is far greater than the network weight? Also, the wallet has displayed "Expected time to earn reward is 1 second" for the past several hours without receiving a stake.
The network weight is more or less estimated based on the staking blocks that have been found. If I understand it properly, then what it's reporting is actually incorrect, as POS is competing directly with POW, and thus it takes more weight to stake a block right now that it would if POW had ended - but the network weight doesn't take that into account.
Mind, I haven't taken the time to confirm that in the code, but that is my understanding of how it all works. If someone knows better, please by all means correct me.
