Staking works perfectly otherwise transactions would be disabled. The only thing is that someone is sending dust in amounts of 1 to 21 lanoshis to all addresses.
You're lying. Staking doesn't work; blocks are created "in the future time" and issued by a small group of miners, who are the only ones receiving block rewards.
The Lanacoin project is compromised. My advice to everyone: stay away.
Hi Vadi2323
As Lana is open source project and code is public i encourage the community to investigate and find a solution
https://github.com/LanaCoin/lanacoinThe chain itself work fine and producing blocks. What you are seeing is well known in the older Proof of stake models.
Since AI will decribe it better (note LanaCoin in based on the original Blackcoin code).
AI qoute:
What you’re seeing is a known behavior in many older Proof‑of‑Stake (PoS) coins like Blackcoin (which is based on the Peercoin PoS design), and it’s usually **intentional—not just bad clock sync**.
## ✅ Short answer
Yes, there *can be a small benefit* to setting a block timestamp slightly in the future, and the \~20‑minute offset you’re seeing is very likely nodes **pushing up against the allowed “future drift” window** rather than being out of sync.
## 🔍 Why timestamps matter in PoS (Blackcoin)
In Blackcoin’s PoS:
* The **block timestamp is part of the staking kernel hash**.
* That means changing the timestamp slightly changes whether a given UTXO can successfully stake a block.
* Effectively, the timestamp becomes a **search dimension** for finding a valid stake.
So instead of just waiting passively, a staker can try subtly different timestamps to increase their chance.
## ⏱️ Future timestamp rule (the key to your observation)
PoS protocols allow some tolerance for clock differences:
* Nodes accept blocks with timestamps **in the future up to a certain limit** (often \~15–30 minutes in Peercoin-style chains)
* This is called **“future time drift”**
So if Blackcoin allows \~20 minutes (which aligns with your observation):
👉 A staker can safely set their block timestamp ahead by up to that limit
👉 Other nodes will still accept it as valid
## 🎯 Why stakers do this
By pushing timestamps forward within the allowed window, a staker can:
* Try more kernel hashes **sooner**
* Slightly increase their **probability of finding a valid stake**
* Reduce chance of **collisions or missed opportunities**This is sometimes called **“timestamp grinding”**, though in Blackcoin it’s fairly limited.
***
## ⚠️ Important constraints
This isn’t unlimited:
* Nodes must still respect **median past time rules**
* They cannot exceed the future drift window or their block will be rejected
* The advantage is **small, not game-breaking**
So it’s more of a **micro-optimization** than an exploit.
***
## 🧭 Why you're seeing many \~20 min future blocks
If lots of nodes are producing blocks with \~20 min future timestamps:
* They are likely **intentionally maximizing the allowed drift**
* This is a common equilibrium behavior:
* If some do it → others must do it to stay competitive
* It does **NOT necessarily mean clocks are wrong**
***
## 🧠 Bottom line
* ✅ Yes, there *is* a small benefit
* ✅ The behavior is usually *intentional*
* ✅ It’s bounded by protocol rules and widely tolerated
* ✅ What you’re seeing is typical in PoS v2/v3-style systems
