BC seems to be the most successful POS only coin right now, it's stake time is just hours. I think we need blocks staking faster to keep the chain moving and secured.
We can speed up the staking time right without increasing stake % per year?
I guess if we keep POW then we don't need to worry about that as much?
Wait, is this coin PoW/PoS or just PoS? Something isn't right on the OP, then: "
[ANN] Androids Tokens v2.0 [Proof of Stake] [very low inflation]".
Is it 1 coin per block PoW, or what?What does this mean: "Total coins 66,800,000,000 + 1.2% / year max"? Is that the PoW inflation or the PoS inflation, because PoS is supposed to be 2.5%.
This coin won't be a good investment if miners are minting coins hand over fist at low difficulty. Too many coin devs think that crazy mining helps a coin. It only hurts because the inflation is unreasonable relative to the work invested by the miners. There should be a balance and then mining should be discontinued when it isn't needed any more, as soon as possible. It is a point of attack and many coins have suffered.
Look at coin2. How did it fix it's vulnerabilities? It went to pure PoS. Problem solved. PoW is a security burden if it is not needed.
Finally:
The idea to have short staking times is fine. The actual APR doesn't change by modifying the stake times. Take a lesson from blackcoin. It forces users to keep their wallets open and secure the network. Don't be fixated on an ideology. Look at results.
the op will be updated to the new settings when the patch is out that changes them as the settings in the op is correct at this time
over the last few days there has been a huge demand to change some of the core ADT code that includes the POW , POS and total coins
over the next 12 months there well be a maximum of 54.44% more coins generated by POS
POW will add another 2% onto that
being pure POS with no POW is an unproven concept that has net been tested as well as the POW/POS code I would like to do some of the things the newer coins are doing but I would rather they make the mistakes first and then when ADT adopts those things there will be less of a risk of doing something that will brake ADT or damage it in the future
originally ADT v1 was meant to have 180 bill total coins so we will not be hitting that number any time soon ( I will calculate the total coins and what not before the patch that changes the settings takes affect as at this time I only have an estimate )
lowering the stake time is a good idea and I would like to do it in the future but at this time I don't feel that its been tested as well as it should have I am not risking using unproven settings
