I would recommend giving it a bit longer than that. My last staking took about ten days, except one block that took a really long time, but it did come mature in a time when I couldn't have it open all the time.
I bought most my HYP now 9.5 days ago and this morning, three of my inputs staked with between 550 and 590 HYP rewards,
but I deliberately created rather large inputs of mostly 3k HYP. I have a couple smaller around 1k also and we'll see how much time they need,
but for now I am happy about the fast earnings of the larger blocks. Apparently a weight of 2000-3000 can allow staking of some inputs.
I noticed that the inputs were split up after staking, so I will probably from time to time gather smaller inputs and combine them unless the rewards that are added a re large enough to keep them up in size. From what I see, about 300 HYP are added to each input, so there will be an equilibrium when inputs get as small as 600 (add 600 reward, then split in 2 of 600) which might be still OK but will need a longer time to gather enough weight for staking as well as reward, so I might recombine inputs.
(in coin control, select all the small inputs that you want to combine, then divide that large amount into 1 or more outputs by sending it to
one or more addresses in your own wallet, each having the size that you want to give them.
For example - if you have 8 inputs of 500 and want to create 2 of 2000 then you select all 8 inputs in Coin control and close that screen which brings you back to the "send" screen. here you see a "change" address that you can fill out with an address of your wallet so you
do not get random temporary addresses, and you can also use the same address as destination to send to, then you tell to send 2000
which means an amount of change of 2000 which will go to the change address - so you will end up with 2 inputs into your chosen address of size 2000 and you are done.
You can generate more than two inputs at one time by clicking the button "add recipient" which will add another field to give an address and amount to send at the same time, so you only pay a transfer fee once for sending to many addresses. Note that all recipients must be different addresses, so you need to generate additional addresses in your own wallet and use those to send to yourself (go to the Receive screen and click "New Address")
Here's the kind of resourceful dude you want securing your coin...
As opposed to Pro Complainers like Akula999 that just want attention... and will always find a reason to leave.
Staking coins are almost by definition more complex...
And your typical coin might requires several hours of study to stake effectively...
Coins that give an advantage to slightly more sophisticated users than tend to build loyal communities...
(Like successful Gen 2.0 platforms, for example).
Also, this is the first hi-stake coin that has achieved decent liquidity on the exchange (2-10 BTC/day)...
So HYP is turning over 1-2% of it's coin supply every day... just wow...
*** That is a historic achievement... and needs close analysis ***
Because even though you may love the legacy HBNs and CAPs of the world...
I predict that ALL Cryptsy accounts will require VERIFICATION within months...
(Including their bizarre demand to take a picture of yourself balancing a beach ball on your nose).
Someday your IRS examiner will show you some incoherent report from Cryptsy with you making $$$$$$$ at 200% interest...
(And don't laugh, Amsterdam, because the IRS has Tax Treaties with about 50 countries)...
Even if the report is completely erroneous you will be charged with tax evasion and pay huge fines.
I freaking love this coin.
There is something viral about hi-stake... that's why you MUST keep the liquidity up.
