Since their isn't a staking weight. Maybe that would explain why when you hover over the green staking icon the it doesn't display your next estimated staking time. Would their be another method for me to check when my 9 coins will receive their first stake if the wallet has been on for 48 hours?
This is an excellent question that is rarely explained. Im going to explain this in detail so its a fair playing field. Now there is hardly any information on POS V3 , so I could be off slightly , but for the most part it will explain it the best I can.
First, you need to understand ,
THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER ON THE WALLET SCREEN IS "AVAILABLE". That number would be kind of like your "stake weight" in POS V2. It strongly determines WHO will win the POS block. Think of it this way. The higher your "available" the higher chance you have of scoring the pos block. So the next statement might be: "Well thats unfair... someone with 50,000 coins will get all of the blocks". No, they dont , here is why:
When the wallet stakes, it takes the block you have and moves it into immature, and REDUCES the "available" amount, where that block will stay for 250 confirmations. This reduces the "available" amount, making it a less chance to score the next block.
The next major factor is "block size".
Block size can be found in the wallet by clicking on: "send", and then "inputs".
Someone using blocks of 200 will have a greater chance of scoring the next block over someone using block sizes of 50.
But again, Im estimating that 70% of the probability is the "available" balance. What this does is encourage people to buy, and stake. So example , someone with an available balance of 4000 VGS has a much higher chance of scoring a block than someone with an available balance of 500 VGS. So it encourages people to have higher available balances, and to buy and hold.
Also MOST IMPORTANT:
THERE IS NO STAKE WEIGHT IN POS V3. SO IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR WALLET OPEN AND UNLOCKED, YOU COMPLETLEY MISS THE BLOCKS. ITS NOT LIKE POS V2 , WHERE YOU CAN OPEN YOUR WALLET ONCE A WEEK AND STAKE, AND THEN CLOSE!!!
This is a very rough idea of how POS V3 works. Its not exact, and I welcome anyone to add corrections to this article.
Thanks you.
