Yesterday I began testing an updated staking engine on my wallet. It improves the staking performance by reducing the number of cpu cycles used by the code. For instance my cpu regularly ran at 50% maxing out a cpu core. New code runs at 10-20%, and is processing blocks as it should be, diff is much more closer to what the wallet reports. Before this was incorrect. So diff is at 24 this morning on PoS. I am going to try moving some coins around that are really old, and reduce the weight so it can come back down.
looking at presstab's explorer i see hyperstake is at around 100 diff...not sure what you guys fussing about...j/k, but looking at what happens when you cap blocks and make people try to setup specific blocks for staking can get nasty fast.
So far we have not needed to make an adjustment on capping rewards, or penalizing large blocks. With the recent staking diff increase, interest dropped to around 10-12% which is the lowest I have ever seen it. I don't see the need at the moment to continue these discussions, it would be better to not need to hardfork and require people to manage their blocks more than they already want to.
fyi this is ofeefee, we need to get block count up on this account so we can get images on OP again, some new bitcointalk update requirement.
