Does Grain, which has 2 week coinage generate approximately 2 times more PoS blocks than coin which has 4 weeks coinage? Is it cumulative effect or are there some other variables involved?
Bump. Perhaps someone could answer. Its pretty difficult to figure out how this works.
Not sure I understand your question, the period a PoS generation does not affect the total amount of PoS coin generated. The total PoS is based on the annual percentage defined. Whatever the coin-days you get will be paid proportionally.
Ok, thats not what i asked. Pardon my crappy english.
I try to make example. Lets say that Coin "A" uses 2 week period for PoS payments. Just like Grain does.
So coin "A" block chain is averaging 4 PoW blocks per 1 PoS block. For example block order like this: PoW-PoW-PoW-
PoS-PoW-PoW-PoW-
PoS-...
Lets say that coin "B" is using 1 week period for PoS payments. So instead of paying interest after each 2 week period, it pays after each 1 week period.
In that case, does coin "B" average only 2 PoW blocks per 1 PoS block? For example like this: PoW-PoW-
PoS-PoW-PoW-
PoS....
Those are just random examples, but perhaps my question is clearer now.
No, 2 weeks period means only the pos is allowed to be generated if the hold period is satisfied. It does not necessarily be generated, it could be generated at 3rd week, or 5th week (with all the coin-days up to the time it is generated). All depends on the diff at that time, how many people are mining pos, and target block time (pretty much like pow mining). That's why sometimes you see pos orphans. PoS orphans do not waste you any coin-days, unused coin-days will be accumulated and eventually the pos block will be generated based on it.
So this time does not affect your block time, or frequency of pos blocks. They are managed by other parameters.
