[ANN][1000 SYNC] Proof of Stake now run by BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

However, I was not aware that the sync wallet would automatically combine blocks. I've seen no such behaviour in 1.03. Is this a new feature with the "beta" wallet? Or is my holding just too small to trigger it?

I collect several staking coins, and the unfortunate (though interesting) truth is that even though the underlying code is based on PPC and NVC, every last one of the bastards behaves differently. Thanks for stepping in and correcting the specifics Cheesy

No problem, just wanted to avoid nasty surprises.
Do you have ORB as well? As far as I know, the highest rewarding Staking coin.

In my wallet, I have seen it re-combine a bunch of inputs as soon as the smallest input reached 0.01 in size, but it will only gather up
all the inputs that were mature and staking, so the wallet is suddenly back to "no weight" and you get the reward for *all* stakes at once.
Usually this means that about half the wallet is re-combined, so the number of inputs suddenly halves and you find a young input that is a large chunk of your wallet, I have seen between 1/4 and 1/2 of my wallet balance. Of course that input will stake soon after the 6 hours maturing, so a little later you don't see that the wallet has re-combined unless you check the nr of inputs several times a day.

Edit: I hear you about the differences - initially I also thought that I needed to split SYNC, as I am used to that with ORB
where each 20+ ORB input creates a fixed reward of 1 ORB, so you gain up to 5% every time it stakes, typically after a fortnight (2 weeks).
So there the trick is to split and re-combine into 20 ORB blocks, as a larger block will not stake that much faster and maturing is slow (5 days) so you want as many 20 ORB chunks as possible. SYNC is completely different in offering a percentage, based on size and age so no manipulation of coins is necessary (luckily).

I've not done anything with ORB. I first heard of it a few days ago, and will look into it. Staking coins have become my main vehicle of investment. My main coin is TEK.

As I work with each of them that I am gathering, I'm taking notes. I'm hoping to have a pretty comprehensive guide written up in a few months with the strategies I've developed and/or researched in that time. Meanwhile, I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little. Coin control and it's permutations fascinate me.

So far, my experience with Sync has been that it stakes really fast and without much issue. I was surprised to find that it recombines the blocks. Never heard of that, not sure I like it. But for this coin, it makes sense. Larger blocks stake faster, and the coin being ultra rare, you don't need a lot of split.

If for certain coins you find ways to maximize stake it may make it viable to start a staking pool. It would be easily possible to write code that would manage, mix, and group a large pool of coins to maximize stake and compounding of stake so all participants could profit more than staking in their own wallets and it would take away the hassle of managing them your self. I know I often am not able to open my wallets all the time and miss the compounding I could have gotten from staking multiple times instead of just the once.
