i tried to connect , no connections available, to answer the question on the stake ,
whoever cooked this up i think has taken the github down at least i could not find it but i found i copy of the souce code i had
to build a wallet (quite some time ago)
here is where the values were set in main.cpp (in the copy of the source i have)
unsigned int nStakeMinAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 30;
unsigned int nStakeMaxAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 90;
So 30 days coin age before you earn any stake.
90 days for full weight.
edit one, sorry i stand corrected, here is the source on github and appears to match the source I have (at least as far as days for stake)
also , i mention it only in passing I am posting to this thread for basically 'entertainment' only since after much research and study of code I am convinced that the current /existing proof of stake systems every coin I have ever seen (which are all based on ppc in one way or another) has fundamental flaws....
some clones have bad brews of code with bad settings for modifiers making those worse ... however what I mean here is this entire system is flawed.
Not only does it fail the Byzantine Generals problem, there are multiple flaws in the code if the network is decentralized.........
Ppc is ok since it has the centralized checkpointing however personally I am against a 'centralized' vs. 'decentralized' network.
I will say there are fewer issues /flaws if a coin is proof of stake only and the proof of work is coded out .........
But .......still exploitable by many methods, some as simple as changing the clock on your computer......some much more complex.......
I guess I should have figured this out years ago since the information was always pretty much all publicly available for anyone taking the time and care to search and read .... however I suppose personally I 'liked' the idea of proof of stake and 'wanted' it to work and just 'overlooked' the flaws pointed out by many older posts you can find on the forum here and other places by bitcoin people debating ppc around and even months after it's launch........
That being said and I apologize for going off topic , if anyone gets a node up for this .... let me know , i may try to connect to the network again.
does any one know what it takes to stake a coin? How many days do they need to sit?
Long time to stake. I up node, i sync and best now is solo mining.
