Its just nice to be able to select "lesser weight" coins and lesser aged coins for sending, so you don't have to sacrifice "older" coins that have more weight.
That's why I like using coin control.
And have you actually looked in Hyper's coin control window? Could please you post a screen shot where it lists coin age?
Because I sure don't see it there.. I see the dates, but not "age" (in days) .. maybe I'm missing something..
Thanks !!
I can second this observation. This has been known all the time. There is no coin age listed. But if you noticed, the number of confirmations list that is ordered from largest to smallest is pretty much the same ordering for coin age. So for now, the number of confirmations can be used. For a temporary way to calculate coin age more-or-less, you can just take the # confirmations * # HYPER for each input. This way, you can tell which input should have the lowest coin age to do your transactions with.
I would say we should also consider changing the default behavior of transacting with the highest confirmed coins (the default from bitcoin) to that of the lowest coin age. This way, most people shouldn't worry about coin control.
That is a great suggestion meowball! I will add that to the development list too The HYPER wallet does have advanced coin control it is just a slightly older version than some of the other wallets that have been shown. We will update it as soon as possible most likely in the next release.
You can use confirmations but also the number of coins is very important. Smaller amounts tend to have lower staking priority. Staking priority is the best way to know which HYPER to send and which to keep in your wallet for staking.
Made a screenshot with explanation below:
I don't actually use coin control as HYPER stakes all the time anyway (if you send coins with old coin-age / high stake weight by mistake you only need to wait 24 hours to stake more, so it isn't the end of the world like with coins that have much longer staking times) but here is my understanding of it:
Each line corresponds to a group of coins sharing the same coin-age since they arrived in your wallet during the same transaction either from staking or when they were sent to you. The "Date" column indicates the time this group of coins landed in your wallet or when they last staked. The "Date" column effectively lets you determine the coin-age.
Amount is the number of coins that are eligible to stake and that are trying to generate a stake for you right now.
Date is when the coin-age was reset (when the coins were sent to the wallet or when they last staked). So the older the date the more coin-age those coins have. However as HYPER stakes so often you will find that often larger groups of coins that are newer will have a higher staking priority.
Priority is their priority to stake (try and use lower priority coins for transactions to send etc)
So with current HYPER coin control coin-age is implied from the "Date" column and stake weight is implied from the "Priority" column.
As HYPER stakes every 24 hours if you have a decent amount of HYPER most of the time your coins are going to be sitting at highest priority trying to stake
