[HYP] HyperStake | Generous Reward Staking | Advanced Staking Controls & Wallet

@DudeAtWork420:

It really looks that you are staking alright, going by the tooltip display. I don't think I have *ever* checked my staking status via getinfo...

About not having any stake now that 11 days have already passed:
Difficulty is sky high with HyperStake. This is a community of staking fanatics & hoarders (and I love them all), so there is a lot of competition to hit a stake. A ~4K block size, on average, will probably take well over 30 days to hit a stake!

Most people have by now sized their blocks around 10K and upwards, though some are salmon, and picked the opposite tactic, many tiny blocks (vs just a few larger ones).

Happy Staking!

Yes it could take quite some time to hit a stake at that size, with only once chance (block) at it.

GetInfo should show as staking active. It concerns me that it is not showing that, and honestly I trust it more than i trust the icon. They are based on different methods to determine whether the wallet is hashing, and I believe my method (the one in get info) is the most solid of the two. Honestly I am not quite sure what to say about it. I will do some thinking.

Edit: after doing some testing, it is possible that when you hit getinfo that it can return "staking not active" when it is in fact staking. If you hit getinfo for the fraction of a second before your wallet has began hashing on the current network block, then it will say staking not active. I got my wallet to say that when i kept hitting getinfo repeatedly until it got that result. Try enter it a few more times. I think your staking is in fact active.

Should I throw several 5000 blocks at it or smaller at 1000, with a total of 10,000-20,000? You say, most are at 10K and upward. Right, the fact I have it sent at 4290 I need to wait until a block hits something that high, if it was seperate at 250 or 500 per block, I'd already be staking....is that correct?

That is the age old question. If you intend to leave it for a couple of months I would say split it to around 6k each block. If you are trying to do a quick turn around then go bigger blocks. But if you get unlucky you might not stake for a long time if you only have one or two blocks. According to the law of large numbers, the more attempts you have at something the more it will line up with the actual statistical probability. But its up to you.

Excellent, thank you for the input. I'll see what I can do. Nothing is ever short term, always go long! (I just added another 12,000 in three separate blocks.)

Cool, just remember to say your prayers to the staking gods every night before bed

It will be interesting to see which 'camp' you end up joining, the big blockers or the small blockers.

Have I ever told you, HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS FREAKING COIN!!!!

I have a lamassu BTC ATM machine three blocks away, if I hit it big, it will be put to good use.

Hi Guys,

Nice job with the coin.

I have a serious question...

On my first stakes, is it normal to have four of the blocks rejected and only one accepted? It seems like an absurdly high number of rejected stakes. If I am only going to actually stake 1 out of 5 blocks, I am really scratching my head. Can someone please tell me why this might happen?

Thanks!

number one culprit is out of sync computer time. If I get a batch of a lot of orphans, a reboot of my wallet vm usually takes care of that.

#2 would be to make sure you are using the most recent client (1.1.1.2)

#3 ?

My version of wallet is out of date. Thanks for the tip.

well then that might sort you out then. if not, come back here or jump on irc and we can try to help ya out more if you need it bud.

[CrimsonPermanentAssurance]

When reinstalling the wallet, do I need to re-download the whole block chain? Or, do I just drag the new wallet on top of the old one in my applications folder?

nope.

IF you want to be paranoid (which I recommend just as a good practice) backup your wallet.dat

otherwise, no, just replace the exe and away you go.

On a Mac, do I just replace the application in the applications folder?

Hyperstake in recent months, is one of the most stable coins in crypto word. I am glad that I am a holder of hyperstake. Good luck developers.
