I am mining STEPS via steakscoin... currently getting roughly 30 a day....
What is a reasonable number of coins to have a 'chance' at a POS reward?
Just curious...
With few coins and small inputs it depends a lot on luck. I don't have that many coins either but with a bit more than 11k STEPS, since the 17th this month 15k, I've got about one stake every 2 days on average. Since the 17th I started to test a bit with organized input sizes, 5 inputs at 1024 coins each staked 4 times until now (2*0, 2*1, 1*2). On the 19th I additionally made 10 inputs of 512 coins each, these had one stake since then but this stake fused 2 inputs from that address together, plus adding the reward.
This stake made me wonder though. Anyone knows if there is some kind of a target input size or automatic input size optimization in the code? It's the first time I noticed staking can fuse inputs together as well as splitting them.
