You are complaining about 1.5 SYNC? Wish I could be as lucky as you.
Oh I am not complaining - I bought 3 SYNC for a reason that should be well known here (Sync Fund)
and I like to understand what the wallet is doing (I have another wallet with ORB which uses a slightly different way of staking)
so I have been watching what this SYNC wallet is doing and I like it a lot, because it will give a reward based on the age and size
of the staking amount - if you put in a fraction, you get a fraction reward, if you put in a lot, you get a lot reward.
Still the ORB (Orbitcoin) has higher rate of interest *if* you configure the wallet right, because there the reward is fixed,
for every 20 ORB you get 1 ORB block reward and it can stake approx every 2 weeks, so you are getting typically 10% per month
which is much higher than SYNC. But due to the fixed-reward-per-input, you need to go into the wallet, enable Coin Control
and split the wallet into separate inputs of 20 ORB each. If you own 30,000 ORB that process is... painful.
Since I initially did not know if SYNC rewards were fixed or variable, I just tried and split my 3 SYNC into a few pieces and awaited the
results. Then I saw that each piece after almost 6h (I believe 355 confirmations which is approx 355 minutes or 5 mins short of 6h) was enabled for staking
and in the hours after that I saw that identical sized inputs received different amounts of rewards, exactly (I calculated to check)
sized to the age of the input at the moment of staking. Then I saw different sized inputs receive rewards that were related to the value of the input at the moment of staking - again confirming that the staking is giving a percentage per month on the amount that is staking and the reward is linear with the age "collected interest over time". I also saw all inputs being split in two and the reward attached to one of them, so I was expecting to see smaller and smaller inputs over time, until you have a wallet full of "dust" that needs to be re-combined and I was not looking forward to doing a similar thing as I had to do on my ORB wallet - manually go in and create a certain size inputs.
So, great was my surprise when I opened my wallet today and I saw *fewer* inputs and one of them was half the amount in my wallet!
I don't know if this feature was discussed or described before, since you do not need to go into the coin control to make SYNC work optimally, so I expect that not too many people know how you can select specific inputs for transactions as well as split and recombine inputs. It is just interesting to see this work and the added features that keep it from falling apart (lilke, creating dust by endless splitting inputs)
In the case of ORB, since it is recommended to keep inputs of at least 20 ORB, the splitting has also been modified that only inputs over 50 ORB will be split in 2, any smaller inputs just get the reward added and so they slowly grow if you do not manually resize them back to 20. It looks like the SYNC wallet is doing something similar - stop splitting but it appears to actively re-combine inputs to make a big input again, I have never seen that except with ORB if the input is smaller than 20 ORB it needs to combine with another staking input to create an amount of 20 or greater before staking can succeed. Is that the same with SYNC, that it searches out staking inputs and recombines them and their rewards to form one big new input?
