See HYP staking as a lottery with 960 winning chances per day (one every 90 seconds). With this particular rules
- Each of your "tickets" (blocks) have one chance to win every 90 seconds
- If it wins, it cannot win again for 9 days
- If it wins, you get up to 1000 more HYP
- If it loses, it increases its chances to win the next time
- The more "expensive" the ticket (the bigger the block), the more chances to win
- The actual chances of winning depends on the number of tickets. The more tickets, the less chances of winning so the less new HYP you'll get, which is how HYP controls inflation
