Yep. Based on reading SWC's post, it looks like Micon has no control over the wallets, though he's in control of the new site. So you can't just transfer the existing balance over because it's two separate entities in control. It'd be like trying to use your Wal-Mart gift card at Target -- they're two separate stores.

I love this part: "planning to add Clams in the next few months." Few months... that's forever in crypto time.

That's 0.0002 BTC, and yes, that's what they want. Basically, the system appears to have no limits now on withdrawals.

This is a tricky thing to answer. Technically, is there an earnings advantage? Yes. And that's based on mathematics. So here we go:

If you have a lot of 1 coin inputs, it's going to take forever for them to stake. Even 20 coin inputs that are a month old can take days. What this means is that you are almost always waiting for some coins to stake.

With one big input, you can usually stake within minutes. What this means is that you spend less time waiting (wasted, if you plan to shut down your client). Instead of leaving the client open for a week, you can open it, let your coins stake, close it. The other method would almost always result in some coins not being staked by the time you're ready to close the client. This would (at least in my case, since I run it every 2-4 weeks) make coins hit that 30d threshold, where they no longer earn interest. i.e., if an input would result in 100 coins given on a 30d stake, it would give the same 100 after 50d, 30000d, etc. In essence, by not ensuring every coin was staked, you are losing money.

There's also more to say about the interest itself... which is that it's compounded. It won't make a HUGE difference, but let's roll with a 12% interest rate per year (or 1% per month) just for ease.

Scenario 1: Staking once per month

Month 1   1000
Month 2   1010
...
Month 11   1104.622125
Month 12   1115.668347

Now let's say you staked every single day:

Day 1    1000
Day 2    1000.333333
...
Day 30   1009.711913
Day 31   1010.048484


Note that this counts on staking exactly every 24h, and excludes downtime from the stake itself (35m or so for stakes to mature). But what you'll see is that:

Staking once per month would result in 1010 coins at the beginning of month 2
Staking once a day would result in 1010.048484 coins at the beginning of month 2

The difference is negligible, and it's even smaller at 5% (would be a difference of around 0.02 HYPER per 1000 coins) but requires a lot more work.

What I do is:

1) Send new coins to address (which doesn't matter, due to step 3)
2) Allow coins currently in wallet to stake (I keep my wallet offline for 2-4 weeks at a time, so it's fairly quick)
3) Open coin control and send ALL coins (old, new, and staked) to a single input

This makes it to where I always have one large input.

Thanks, and I try. I'm a member of a lot of crypto projects so I help where I can. =)

Forgot to add another thing... are all your coins in ONE input or multiple? To help illustrate the difference...

Let's say there are 200 coins total and you have 100. Your stake weight is 50%.
If you have all 100 coins in one input, you have a 50/50 chance on the next block (assuming all 200 coins were the same age)
If you have 50 and 50 inputs, now you have a 25% on each input, while the guy with 100 has a 50% chance
If you have 10/10/.. inputs, now each input has a 5% chance, while the guy with 100 has a 50% chance

All of these bring the same value over time, but smaller inputs = more variation. I try to keep all my coins in one input.

Also note that the Stake field will NOT increment permanently. It will only show a value when it is in the process of staking (so 50 blocks, for maturity) and then will drop again. So that field isn't a good way to see if you're staking. In your transaction fields, you'll see stake rewards as transactions (if you've staked).

It's also random... I have had stakes of 20-30 come within a minute, while a stake of 1500 that was offline for 3 weeks (read: has a lot of age) took almost 9 hours.

But to the person asking... just let it go. The coins will continue to age, so when they DO stake, you will just get more (if you would get 1 coin after 24h and it takes 3 days to come in, it'll give 3 coins).

Awesome progress! Is the staking already working as well?

Looking forward to the whitepaper! Really interested in evaluating it, .

That URL is worthless. If someone is offering 200 BTC + $25k, take it. Seriously. Before they realize they're making a horrible business deal.

That specific domain has nothing going for it. It's not special. If you just want to rank, rank for "swc poker" using the domain "urafloppydonkey.com" and you'll have the same success.

They aren't bugs:

1) Staking is meant to be on all transactions, regardless of size

2) Staking is meant to split transactions in two

3) Block size is x, and transaction size is x. Bitcoin is the same way, as are every other alt. The only reason it causes issues with ENRG is because of the fast block times on staking, which allows you to split transactions tens of times (making hundreds of new inputs) over a somewhat short period of time

None of these are bugs. They are working as intended. They simply need to be altered to better match how ENRG works.

Just keep lowering the send amount until it goes through. That's really the only way. So try 100k, then 95k, 90k, etc. and continually drop. Once a transaction sends, start at the top again (100k, 95k...) and keep doing that until you've gone through all your coins (cycled). And then you can send ALL the coins in one (hopefully) transaction a final time.

You can also use coin control to go through and select... say 75 inputs at a time. Then at the top of the client you can see the total you can send (after fee), so input your address to send to, the after-fee amount, and that will knock out 75 inputs. Then just keep doing this over and over and watch the input list drop, .

Not yet, but it's a great request. They already work backwards. Price has been somewhat stable lately though (all things considered) so you can just convert as money comes in.

Update: Signature locked down for this week!

Out of curiosity, how much are those to print (cost-wise, not in terms of selling)? I've been looking into 3D printers and such but haven't found much information on the actual cost basis for small items like that.

This. The thought that someone not showing up for an extended period (a week+ is huge in crypto time) wouldn't affect anything is asinine. It has a direct impact on people's confidence in the project.

Do I believe that he's gone, working on something related to the project to help give it value? Yes. But what you or I think means absolutely nothing. It's the community as a whole that matters. And when someone is missing or not showing up on a regular basis, the community takes it as a negative sign.

My feelings exactly. As long as things are good, I'm sure he'll make up for the missed payments. It's not the first time he's been away like this, and he's always gotten things squared away once he returned.

Just no updates recently. No payments were made for the past 2 months, either (last was like the end of December).
