Added this post to the HyperStake Development Journal:
There has been a lot of talk recently about this "max generation" limit. Here are the numbers I think we should be basing our analysis on.
At the moment of writing this:
The last 960 blocks added 500,014 HYP, average of 521 per stake
Last 6720 blocks added 3,397,835 HYP average of 505 per stake
Last 28,800 blocks have added 11,901,493 HYP, average of 413 per stake
The max generation by definition is when each stake will be 1,000 HYP, thus hitting the ceiling each time. Right now we are about halfway to max generation. I don't think we will hit max generation for a long time, because people will always be trying to size their blocks small enough to get rewards that are less than 1,000. I think what really is going to happen is that there will be a fight to stay under max generation, this will mean smaller blocks, and smaller blocks will mean higher difficulty.
So best thing is to keep an eye on difficulty for now.
Some of this may be incorrect, but here goes:
750% is the nominal rate = 2.05048% per day (not including compounding)
But with daily compounding 1.0205048 ^ 365 = 1675%
So absolutely optimal staking should produce closer to the higher number...
Until the 960,000 coin/day Hard Cap kicks in and the returns start declining gradually.
In the last week Money Supply grew:
30,952,405
3,397,835
-----------
34,350,240 = 9.757%
But optimal compounded = 1.0205048 ^ 7 = 15.267%
So "staking efficiency" is only about 64%...
Many people are moving coins, staking sub-optimal sizes, offline, etc
It seems you are basically saying that 36% is "unstaked" and "lost"...
Which simply elongates the life of the coin by postponing the Hard Cap...
And the absolute max one can make with "perfect staking" = compounded return of 1675%.
After 30 days of careful records I'm doing 1238% based on average HYP position (but I've only staked 10 times).
Now that I have > 100,000 coins in what I feel are optimal blocks...
Another month and the results will probably be statistically significant and very interesting...
From an investor perspective.
Plus I'm actively Market Making the coin with about 15% of coins always on exchange...
Returns from scalping that 15% are not included, but it's higher than the staking percentage...
And will also be interesting after another month.
Wow... my hat is off to you presstab...
Someone finally created a high stake coin that is liquid and tradable...
I wish I had the time to compile it and run simulations with reporting code.
