RE: Gridcoin Solo: What's It Going To Take To Stake?
Let me start by saying awesome effort and good methodical way of documenting the result.
However this is the worst time to do the experiment. The values are not at all reflecting general conditions.
- a lot of folks have the wallets offline due to all the forking.
- many wallets are stuck no different fork chains when staking is made.
- Net difficulties is varying from 4.X to 0.0XX making predictibility harder
Place network difficulty in the picture at each of those point and you will see a entirely different story.
I personally have stacking for the first time during this when i had balance ~ 10XX.
I applaud the effort but the values will be highly skewed and this would warrent a retry at some later stage when network at stablized.
I would have personally used this low time to actually gather more GRC's and then push them to wallets once they stabilise to get more stakability like you suggested.
Please note that I stated the experiment was terminated by the forking, so all of the "normal" network activity was happening during the experiment. In fact I state in the article that the forking terminated the experiment. So the numbers are still good.
Additionally, (@jmarndt would have to verify) when he finally staked the network weight was "normal" at 1.xxx on a non fork.
Network difficulty is always fluctuating. I've seen it close to 7.x and under normal conditions before the recent forks as low as 0.4x though that low was an extreme example of "normal".
OH, and you might be interested to note that a new experiment is in the works. "trust but verify".
agreed. and like i said full merits for doing it and full merits for having plan on doing it again. But next time also plot network weight in picture that will give more clear picture.
Thank you! I went back to my data and discovered that I did have Net weight data for most of the test. As a result, with your prompting I have added that chart. Take a look.
In my second comparison experiment I am including other metrics as well for a more complete picture.
As a matter fact, network weight will be included.
