Even with big blocks and huge weight orphans are strangling the process.
Minimum stake size or any other method to kill off the staking spam
I'm not convinced 90 second block times will help if the wallet continues to be so unresponsive.
I have recently aggregated all blocks into a new wallet and saved 6-700 MB of RAM
can't say I'm noticing any improvements.
The wallet is thrashing 30% of a 4GHz quad core and falls into long periods of orphans on fixed by a wallet restart.
Also if everyone is creating so many potential POS solutions why are we always near 100% reward?
Better staking algo and 90 sec block time will be a huge difference.. I have 1.5.5 just about ready. THis will be the first part to help staking. Plenty of other things to do, and then we can talk about hard forks for 1.6. I think 90 second block time HAS to be among them.
OK I'll buy the improved algo part for sure, I'm neither here or there at 60-90 seconds to be honest.
I've been doing a bit of tinkering over here and beginning to feel I'm on the outskirts of the network .
There is a dude in Kiev helping me out but most peers have shocking ping times. (I believe some of the reported times are WAAAY off also)
Could we flag which peers are in sync with the network in the peers info % or some such?
