Can someone put up the PoS interest schedule in terms of blocks and estimated dates in the original post and on the AC website?
The link to the bitcointalk post is just in number of months and a bit confusing. For example, I believe we are in Year 1 and Month 3-4 or 80%. But someone new may think we are currently in Year 1 (2014), Month 7-8 (July-August). And I'm sure most would want to know the exact block cutoff times for each PoS phase.
I believe the start of Year 1, Month 3-4 was on block 72,000. So how would I calculate the next start for Month 5-6 knowing each block is 60 sec? Does one month equal 30 days or 31 days or is it just an estimation? My guess would be that the code uses a fixed number of blocks which would approximate two months. If so, what is that value?
I'm sure a lot of coin owners would be bummed if they staked one day late or one block late thinking they were still in the previous PoS phase.
Thanks.
It is actually accurate but the blockchain issue earlier caused us to backtrack on the schedule. We are incorporating a new POS schedule in the next version of the wallet. Everything is based on blocks and given the block time being 60 seconds. It is safe to say that we are on a 30-day month count. We are not affected by calendar months.
As for staking, not everyone will stake exactly after 14 days, there is an element of luck but you will not lose out any stake interest even if you stake late.
Here's the projected block schedule with approximate dates based on the original schedule (i.e. before the blockchain issue). I believe the math is correct.
Block Nbr Approximate Date (mm/dd/yyyy)
Year 1 Month 3-4 72,000 Start of 80% (We are currently here)
Year 1 Month 5-6 158,400 Start of 60% 8/7/2014
Year 1 Month 7-8 244,800 Start of 40% 10/6/2014
Year 1 Month 9-10 331,200 Start of 30% 12/5/2014
Year 1 Month 11-12 417,600 Start of 20% 2/3/2015
Year 2 Month 1-2 504,000 Start of 15% 4/4/2015
Year 2 Month 3-4 590,400 Start of 10% 6/3/2015
Year 2 Month 5-6 676,800 Start of 8% 8/2/2015
Year 2 Month 7-8 763,200 Start of 6% 10/1/2015
Year 2 Month 9-10 849,600 Start of 4% 11/30/2015
Year 2 Month 11-12 936,000 Start of 3% 1/29/2016
Year 3 Month 1-12 1,022,400 Start of 2% 3/29/2016
Year 4 and beyond 1,540,800 Start of 1% 3/24/2017
