Thank you Cryptonit for your answers.
basical in the rollout plan above the green line POS coin rollout is weaker than estimated
(why POS coinrollout is weaker than estimated is because less people use POS and stake their coins than expected
and more coin-age is burned in transactions of "aged" coins than expected)
the reactor fill the gap so the coin rollout stay as planned
answer the plan is that reactor pos works same as other pos only higher rewards
a change in POS blocktime will be dicussed maybe we go from 600sec to 300 sec
initial we chose the high blocktime to make sure there will be ablways wallets who have unspend coin-age who try to create a POS block
as we see now that a lot people support the POS security of network with 24/7 wallets we consider to decrease blocktime a bit to raise the percentage of POS blocks at coin extraction
The above may be a part of the reason POS coin rollout is weaker than expected, but I think the main reason is that there are in fact not 6 POS blocks per hour in average, or 144 POS blocks per day, in theory 10% of the all blocks. I have followed the frequency of POS ever since the unfortunate stop of the POW blockchain in september 2014, and according to data taken from the blockchain the actual amount of POS blocks is about 4 blocks per hour in average during the period from september 2014 to january 2015. No wonder there’s less POS coins than expected when there should be about 50% more POS blocks. So to get better compliance with POS coin rollout plan, I personally think first measure should actually be to adjust the wallet code so there are in average 6 POS blocks per hour, and not 4. Right now, with this amount of POS blocks, and increasing network coin weight, it is rather difficult to POS. If the reactor comes into the picture and the amount of POS blocks will not be adjusted, it will probably be very difficult for "normal" wallets to POS. I know you earlier explained the coinpiles of Bob and Alice and the reactor, but in the reactor will be DMD foundation coins which, according to previous statement from Popshot, not have been able to POS before because foundation wallet is not staking, so these are new coinpiles that will compete for POS. The reactor in itself will generate higher POS rewards than normal and more POW coins will be generated continuosly so there will definitely be more new coinpiles competing for the POS blocks in the future. The question is if it’s enough with changing the blocktime to 300 sec in the long run, because if current code continue behave as before, that will only be around 8 blocks per hour. Possibly that will not be enough.
I do understand that there are difficulties in balancing coin stability and coin mechanichs, my conclusion is that the reactor project could be beneficial for the coin, but should be accompanied by an increase of the average amount of POS blocks.
If I choose the POS
2 mode, are there any information regarding agreements/rules related to the reactor staking. Is it you Cryptonit, or Popshot, or both of you that is responsible for the reactor address and the money sent to it? For example, lets say i move 1500 DMD to the reactor address and fill 3 slots tomorrow, will I receive some sort of acknowledgement from you that you have received my coins for staking and that they still belong to me? Or do I see this information somewhere in DMD multipool? Lets say for some reason, I change my mind or by the end of february the staking reactor project get delayed, is it possible for me to get my 1500 DMD back, ie before they have started to stake in the reactor?
