recombine your coins every 7 days, you will stake more
I've a tech question for you. Does a chuck of coins split in half when it stakes?
How should we recombine coins to make an optimal staking wallet? Any hint greatly appreciated.
When it stakes, you get splitting. To stop it, you can recompile a wallet and change it in wallet.cpp (lines 19 and 20)
https://github.com/insaneinthemembrane/v2/blob/master/src/wallet.cppunsigned int nStakeSplitAge = 1 * 24 * 60 * 60;
int64_t nStakeCombineThreshold = 1000 * COIN;
It is annoying but originally made like this to keep network activity alive, since you end up with more addresses competing to stake.
Some coins have changed it, but most PoS coins have not, fearing a network problem.
Individual wallets can be altered without making a great effect on the market.
nStakeSplitAge = 1 * 24 * 60 * 60; makes he PoS reward split to 2 outputs when the stake was younger than nStakeSplitAge
nStakeCombineThreshold = 1000 * COIN; makes many sub 1000 coins at the staking address You can change the values, although you want to get it right! I have tried variations, some worked better than others.
I am not even sure what I altered it to on my wallet insane, but I will have. You can slow down splitting, but you seem to stake less often, but you get bigger stakes.
The easy way, is about every 2 weeks or month, recombine all the coins, and start as if new. You lose some staking time.
The biggest issue is when you leave a wallet staking away, and you have hundreds of outputs trying to stake. You try to send a decent amount of coins, and get a message saying insufficient funds because the coins are busy. In this instance, you just have to wait. Probably better to close your wallet (not 100 per cent sure on that bit), and eventually the transaction will become uncontested, and will go through.

both altered them for the wallet as a whole, but I am not sure they are suitable.
Easiest is to make a new wallet after a month, and send your coins to it, it cuts down on splits, contested transactions and dusrt wallets that grow to 20 mb due to the activity.
