So what's the feeling on the options of preventing the smaller amounts from staking, or linking POS % to the coin supply, ... or any other solution? I reckon that linking the % to the coin supply is the fairest and most effective option in securing the future of TEKcoin.
Preventing smaller amounts from staking is very unfair and draconian towards poorer or not well funded newcomers and investors. Any cryptocurrency should be poor friendly (after all, most people in thsi world are poor but you want them to adopt something that could give them a shot at the good life).
Linking pos reward to coin supply could work but I'm going to guess that could imply that rewards go down as supply naturally increases, which I think is going to kill the value of Tekcoin, as it does every other coin.
Could try linking rewards to block sizes, and giving higher rewards to larger blocks. If it can't be helped, maybe no rewards for blocks of size less than 100 or 150. Then:
0-150 Tek no reward, 151-400 5-15%, 401-700TEK 20%, etc etc. This is just an example. The problem is, reward is still somewhat tied to difficulty and frequency of stake according the rules of Tekcoin. So manipulators will jsut manipulate through the next smallest eligible block size.
Making something fair for everyone is VERY difficult to do. Part of the problem is I can't figure out a "compromise" that let's everyone "kind of win". Someone has to lose it seems. That's an uncertainty I'm not comfortable with.
I invest in other pos coins like bitbean, hyperstake, and quotient coin. I use to do netcoin (pretty solid but I wasn't happy with the returns). Tekcoin is the first coin I've encountered where there's a real problem that prevented me from investing a large amount of $ into it due to said problem.
Hopefully this gets resolved soon.
in the Spirit of giving the assholes who are intentionally doing this as much punishment as possible while making it as hard as we can for them to try it again... 1k+ or nothing is more effective. Though to future proof it somewhat it will likely be more like this, 1k is what % of moneysupply.. if trying to stake under that floating % that will keep rising with mintage.. you get squat.
