That's why advertising, like getting mentioned in a book will help. I hope someone can answer my question. I believe there is a different difficulty with each coin. So if you have x million Espers, it might stake X amount of times a week.
5 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.
1 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.
This is a crucial utility aspect of the coin, same thing with the mining rush for Bitcoin and other coins, and yet a lot of devs of staking coins don't make it clear, nor the team able to answer the question.
I have written a short guide that contains some example calculations (for general POS) here:
https://github.com/bitcoinx2/tutorials/wiki/Proof-of-StakeRegardless of the actual amount that you have, you
might (theoretically) stake between zero and [the amount of blocks in that timespan] times a week. It's probabilistic. On average though, you will always stake according to your fair share in the network. So if you have 0.1% of the network weight, you will stake every 1000th block. Espers block time is 5 minutes, but only 50% of the blocks are POS, so the effective target is 10 minutes. One week is 7 days * 24 hours * 6 POS blocks per hour = 1008. So with 0.1% of the network weight you will stake roughly once a week
on average. Sometimes multiple times a week, sometimes with a break of multiple weeks.
The last time I checked the network weight it was at maybe 6 billion so 0.1% of that would be 6 million. Hope that helps.
