If you have held coins since the beginning of PoW, those coins will effectively be catching up on interest they would have earned in a PoS protocol. That explains some of the larger payouts. We are watching the inflation rise and interest fall as we get closer to equilibrium, but because there are so few of the 34M coins in circulation that are staking, the few people that are staking are being rewarded for securing the network and keeping inflation in check.

Hi Steve,
It's easy to make these claims, but they do contradict any calculations you and Doug came up with, not to mention that current results contradict any possible logic. If my wallet's address with 1,000,000 coins in it had staked instead of the one with 200,000, I would have gotten 35,000,000 coins for finding that block. Please get back to work, find a way to first revert back to block 830000 and secure the blockchain, then find and fix the error in the code. That's not easy, I know, but that's what all of us here need to be done.
Thank you!
