There's a lot of waiting time then, isn't it better to split inputs into 1-2k pieces ? I have not staked yet, still waiting the 8days. If you setstakesplitthreshold to 5k, then it will split all inputs that go above 5k into 2.5k pieces ?
If you check the thread, you will find that the best block size is between 10 and 20k, based on the experience of users. Of course, you can make some tests with other sizes, but as have been said before on many occasions, your best option is in this range.
f you setstakesplitthreshold to 5k, the wallet will wait till a block hits 10k to split into two 5k blocks. I think that if the block is older than the maximum stake age, it will not gonna split, going to 11k.
Still have to wait like 4 days to reach stake age that's why I'm asking these, does anyone have a rough estimate how long do you have to stake to get a reward ? So it's 8.8 days + how many days till reward ? I was thinking if it's like 1 day or less, it should be faster to split it into smaller inputs... I just opened the block explorer and started to check some addresses, so here's presstab's address, do I understand this correctly?
http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/block.php?height=1047716 Stake Input: 12,866.03 / Age: 268.24 Days. Meaning he staked the wallet for 268 days till he got the reward with 12k coins in that single input ?
http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/block.php?height=1047699 Stake Input: 7,376.45 / Age: 15.41 Days. Then there's this, got a reward with 7k coins in 15days ?
If I'm reading these correct, the reward is absolutely random. I kept checking more and I saw 1k inputs have sub 50days age before reward. How did you guys get at the 20k input size as being optimal ? what was the formula for it ?
Instead of looking at a single wallet, look at the latest blocks coming in. Here are some interesting examples:

Notice that is some cases there were UTXO's with less weight that staked in a quicker amount of time. This is because staking is random because it is based on hashing certain inputs using SHA256. If staking were not random, it would be extremely easy to arbitrarily take of the blockchain and perform all types of attacks. What you should note is that although staking is random, the more weight you have the more chance of staking you will have. The wallets that stake small inputs (such as 2-5k) have thousands of those inputs and most of those go unstaked for an extremely long period of time.
For my own personal holdings, I have tried to mix and match UTXO sizes. I have a very large amount of small UTXO's and I also have quite a few 10-50k UTXO's in there too. My oldest is 689 days old and is 4,538 HYP.
- where can I mine ?
