I thought I'd just share my latest experience with HYP - so that you don't make the same mistake as I just did!
Up until now, everything's gone perfect, as far as I'm concerned, with MY management of my wallet.
I'm a stickler for making sure that as soon as my blocks stake, I optimise them (merge together) to make new blocks of anywhere between 2,500 and 4,000 HYP.
Anyone who's seen my earlier postings, will also remember I used 100GBP as a "test" to see the benefits of a HyperBank - buying 15,793 HYP, placing it in a separate address, in blocks of approx 2,500 HYP each, and leaving it to stake.
Well, today I went to "optimise" my latest staked blocks, and unwittingly, I also managed to include ALL 15,793 HYP alongside my approx 3,000 HYP I was trying to merge together, into one massive 19,000 HYP block!!!
"Annoyed as hell" would be a polite way of putting it. I'd screwed up my own experiment, and this is after 8 days - so they were "this close" to starting to stake!!!!!!
So, where did I go wrong? And what can be done to stop it happening to other people?
My issue (and I take the blame all on my own) was that I'd gone into Coin Control, and earlier in the day I'd been on "Tree Mode" and I'd left ticked the experiment address with the 15,793 HYP inside.
Consequently, when I then went into List Mode, and selected 2 newly minted blocks to merge together, it added the entire lot together, resulting in the massive 19,000 HYP Block.
Yes, the figures added up right on the screen showing this - it's just that I didn't take in what I was reading - afterall, I'd merged blocks together many many times before - why would this be different, right?..... Wrong!
So, I've lost staking on all 15,793 HYP for 8 days worth. It won't kill me - it sure as hell made me mad with myself, but it got me thinking.....
Presstab - I can see no obvious reason why anyone would want to send themselves blocks of HYP, over, lets say, 5,000 HYP. Is there any way that a precaution can be implemented into the wallet which, when "accidentally" sending such a stupid amount of HYP to your "own" addresses, the wallet can Red Flag this, making you think twice about what you're doing?On another note, in Coin Control, if you list by "Potential Stake" and have a reward of 1,000 HYP - the maximum reward, this will not show up at the top of the list - it will show in the 100's, so pretty much near the bottom (it sees 100.1 as a higher reward than 1000.0) - a small thing, but something you might easily update in the next wallet
