I have lost 50% of staked coins to orphans.... Brutal
Cute! And I haven't received a single stake during that entire time....running 24/7 too. I only have 1.2 Pex in there but I should have gotten something by now....it states it's staking but I'm not receiving any stake. I did receive one stake before HIPOS but that wasn't accepted....It's not working like I thought....My other coins are staking and they aren't even considered HIPOS....I'm a little disappointed but glad I was wise enough not to invest more.
Your coins have to gain enough weight on the network. Smaller blocks take longer. Since this is percentage based, once you eventually stake you will earn the interest on the whole time. When you stake you will get the reward based on the reward percentage at that block, meaning that if it happens at 10000% you will get it at 10000% for the whole time. If it flows over into the 9000% you will get paid at 9000% for the whole time your coins matured.
Have you prepared your input blocks properly? Have you followed this advice?
I know for sure I didnt.... What you say
