I'm willing to bet that you have multiple stakes. The confirmation time is long, typically 10 days, but it cannot extend for one person if it doesn't extend for the whole network and I have staked a bunch since then

Each stake or deposit is treated separately and splits independently of other inputs

If you are not using reservebalance or locking your wallet, chances are they did come out of stake and have since staked again

Seeing as how you are one of the people who left me negative trust for ECASH, I'm going to assume you are trolling from here on out

I was still mathing out options and this one won. Input size as in amount of deposit

Please read the entire post above. It has all the important information already written out

Yes

The average of 2014% and the amount of flat blocks you hit, I guess. Really, though, the entire point of all my recent changes, including Variance, is to get away from the yearly stake rate %, but still give a scaling incentive to hold long-term. That is where the current iterations of flat PoS rewards do not scale well

There is no information available yet on ideal sizes. It all comes down to luck and which method you are trying to go for

The next client update will be for GorillaTeeth to bring it up to 4.0.4 - Please stay tuned 

I forgot to mention.. those of you with a Pi will notice the pro file that mentions qt4 - Please replace MMXIV-Qt.pro with that file if you wish to compile on a Pi or similar ARM system (or just want to use Qt4 without the in-wallet trading on Bittrex) prior to compiling

As a side note, I estimate Block 264,000 to be a little under a month away, so there is still plenty of time to stake at the current rates

The update everyone has been waiting for.. MMXIV 4.0.4! There are a few changes in this coin that are worth mentioning, so please take a minute to read through this so you understand what is happening. So without further delay..

General Update Details
Some of you know why, some don't. If you remember the 9 day period for BALLS, changing timstamps will ensure that never happens with MMXIV. The GUI has also been updated for 4.0.4 - I know, Mac icons don't line up perfectly, but that's because you're missing the Trade tab. Coin control was going to be included, but was scrapped last minute as I was not happy with the results; it will return soon with a more detailed system of managing your funds. We have also set up two pro files for easy compiling on the Pi or other ARM systems that use Qt4 - More instructions will come later for an easy way of choosing with version of Qt to use


Staking
MMXIV now has a Hybrid Staking system, meaning that half the blocks will use the conventional staking system, while the other half will use the Variance staking method.  This means that after Block 264,000 of MMXIV, even number blocks will stake for the current 2014%, while odd numbered blocks will stake for a flat 20.14 MMXIV, regardless of input size. This change was done for a number of reasons. The main being to slow inflation by eating network coinage without drastically reducing the incentive to hold


What does this mean for our staking strategy?
Two things.. First of all, inflation has been squished quite aggressively at the perfect time. MMXIV was about to start inflating beyond control, but we were able to get this fork done in time. This new Hybrid system opens us up to new staking strategies. I will explain in a little detail the two main strategies I see coming into play (there will be more, I'm sure)

1) You are a small holder
No problem. This system is actually built really well (and fairly) for both large and small holders.  Your goal will be to split your coins up into small chunks, planning for the long term play of staking a bunch of the 20.14 blocks. If you were to hit a flat block with an input size of 1.0, you would be getting over 20x your deposit in just one stake! On the flip side, if you were to hit one of the 'bonus' blocks, you would end up with only 1.05 coins because of your low input amount

2) You are a large holder
First of all, thank you for holding tight. Your goal will be to put your coins into large chunks, planning for the long term play of staking a bunch of the 2014% blocks. If you were to hit a flat block with an input size of 1000, you would get the standard flat 20.14 MMXIV reward. On the flip side, if you were to hit one of the 'bonus' blocks, you would end up with a massive stake of over 50 coins!

Think of this coin now as a lottery for both large and small holders. Small holders will be focused on the flat blocks while large holders aim for the bonus blocks. The best part, though, is that if a large holder wins the small lottery, or a small holder wins the large lottery, it eats all that coinage and reduces network inflation even further without nerfing stake rate so drastically that it hurts the individual. This change will slow the network while keeping user wallets feeling very much intact via high reward staking, increasing the incentive to hold massive amounts of MMXIV

Did an interview for an article that one of the guys I met down at NASA in Florida is writing. He just posted it here for review if anyone wants to check it out: https://readfold.com/read/JuanDavid1891/after-ross-ulbricht-lets-not-forget-bitcoin-is-not-all-about-the-dark-web-6jYTBHLX

Really cool guy, good writer, and he just got a journalism internship at Science Magazine so give it a read when you have a minute 

It is currently 2014% per year, or 5.5%, compounding, daily

GorillaEx Update
Thanks for bearing with us while we get everything sorted out. The site has been back for about a week now, but we are aware of a display issue causing many users to not see any market data. This is a known, and actively being addressed, issue that is causing this temporary change

For a short while, GorillaEx will be reverting back to a more basic layout, ensuring all users are able to trade effectively. This is only a temporary solution and will not last very long. The extended UI is being actively worked on and will return shortly

Thank you for your patience

Yes. I want this to be very clear, because there are two kinds of people

1) Those that want to Stake

2) Those that don't

I need both groups to understand that between now and Block 50,000, if your coins stake, it was done on your local machine, not GorillaStake, so do not blame me for your coins being locked up for a month waiting for confirmations

If you want your coins to stake, you must run the client until Block 50,000, at which point I will load up all addresses that you received in your welcome letter that came through the mail

It will only be down for this block of time ever. After block 50,000, I'll keep them up nonstop. Just want to give anyone whose plan was to purchase and sell right away the opportunity to do so without being locked in Stake

GorillaBucks wallet on GorillaStake is down until Block 50,000 to give people time to move them off if they don't want all their coins to enter another stake cycle

No problem
