Is there a recommended block size for this coin? I thinking of buying some!
The bigger the better because that way they stake faster compared to smaller blocks and faster staking means stronger compounding interest. But don't make them bigger than 10K because you risk hitting the max stake reward of 1KCaps.
I think it also makes sense to have, say, at least 1 block staking per day. It's more fun that way.
So for example if you want a position of 10K total, your block size would be somewhere in between 500 and 1000 if you ask me.
is the max stake reward per block a declining equation or does it "taper"
i.e does it start higher than fall off on a slope until it reaches 1000 max per block?
or does it just stop at 1000 total stake and then you would have to move it i guess?
It just truncs the amount at 1000. No sloping or anything. So I guess the best advice is to keep blocks relatively small and stake them regularly.
By doing so, the blockchain is also better protected from attacks as is the money supply against sudden increases from large old blocks staking like once a year. As far as I know, for these reasons HBN will also get a max stake reward in version 1.5
one more Question if that's cool..
assuming if staking is 15 days -
and this policy is not in place ( say HBN)
if bob has a 1000 HBN address (block)
and Sally has a 1,000,000 Block -
lets say they both acquired the blocks at exactly the same time etc.
wouldn't they both stake on day 15?
or would they both begin the process and the 1 million block would take a lot longer to actually stake?
