coinweight is a much better indicator for time estimation of your block/interest time.
the amount of coins alone wont give a clear indication therefor.
this is the reason why coinweight is displayed.
i agree though that it would be nice to see the amount of coins staking too and as already stated it will be implemented.
This is where I normally "lose it". Indicator of what, how much your staking coins are producing? It cannot be more than 2.5% TOTAL, IN A YEAR so who the hell cares even remotely about that?? Come on... I understand it will be an indicator of some loose value for the devs to know the strength, so to speak, of the network, but they will have a very close idea of it by looking at the REAL numbers, just the same.
So, I will repeat: Meaningless.
for people who are staking its quite important to know when they probaly get a block - even more if you are staking 24/7. also additionaly to the interest you also receive tx fees.
with this marketcap right now its not much, but with a higher marketcap this can be alot of money.
Why don't you elaborate a bit more on that subject? It seems to me there have been a bunch willing to jump on the high end of insults and really adding no knowledge to the matter...
i am not sure if you understand what i am talking about, but i will try to explain.
im telling you that it is very important from a perspective of a staker to know when he actually stakes a block.
you can compare this to bitcoin mining, the miner also wants to know when he gets a block or rather a time estimation of that.
the transactions fees was just one of the reason why it is important to know how much time you need to stake/mine a block.
every block contains x amounts of transactions which contains transactions fees which goes to the staker/miner of the block.
well if vericoin has a higher marketcap the interest and txfee's you receive as a staker will be much more worth then it is if the marketcap would be lower. that was all i wanted to point out.
that you dont care about 2,5% because you think every daytrader does alot of profit is neither true nor related to my explaination or the question itself.
interest rate in pos coins is just the incentive to providing support to the network like mining bitcoin blocks give you right now 25 btc + txfee's of that block.
