I have a question regarding POS:
why a smaller block with weight of 5100 and age of 10.08 stakes first and another one (twice so big) with age of 11.9 and weight of 13500 struggle for 3 days to stake and........nothing? Sad

the coins with 13500 weight have 2.6x more chances of staking than the coins with 5100 weight but luck still plays a factor

id like to think of it this way... you need to get a score of 25000

you roll a 10sided dice and the weight is the multiplier

the smaller block rolls a 5
5 * 5100 weight = 25,500

the bigger block rolls a 1
1 * 13500 weight = 13,500

the smaller block gets a score > 25000 and finds a block

in PoS, the target score is the difficulty

Thanks..
i guess my small blocks have more luck as the bigger ones Sad

(another small block just staked and the big one is still struggling)

It's a problem if small blocks stake before the bigone, when your big block will stake, you will earn more at this moment...
For ex : if your block stake at day 10 -> you earn 100 but if it's at day 15 you earn 150 ... later but more coins ...
