Yeah agreed, those are crazy #s, but Im only reporting so devs have an idea of whats happening.

I don't care if cryptsy is staking while they're bringing their wallet up to speed........
Just hurry up and let my potcoin GO..

Indeed it does, lets hope this continues.

Not yet, even they did, everyone would need to download the updated wallet for it to take affect, its code that affects YOUR coins, not the coins on the entire network.
Looks like a big player just brought on a few million coins, lets hope these will be actively staking and not going into cold storage after jacking up the diff.

How many? If you want, I can send you some coins for an internal transfer at cryptsy. I don't have much actively staking, but I am willing to help a brother out

Right now it doesn't matter much, but as the network grows and more coins are actively staking, the size of the blocks your staking will matter. Overall though, having smaller blocks will only mean that you stake less often, but your payout will be what it should be, IE, at least 5%, larger depending on the amount of coins actively staking.

For optimal staking, I would focus on having all your coins in one address, this way you are likely to stake more often and compounding can have greater effect.

This is to be expected. Whenever you move coins around it destroys the coin age and resets it to 1. Coin age is determined by the # of coins and the # of blocks since the coins have moved. The network is still small enough that you will likely stake about 8 hours after moving those coins, no matter how small they may be.

i hate this limbo mode between confirmed coins and i guess the time limit. Even if the coins are confirmed, the stake button sill say's not mature because of time?

Yeah, you threw away a decent chunk of profit by doing that. Live and learn. You will make some of it back while the % of active coins is as low as it is.

wish i knew if everyone at crypsy was going to dump or withdraw. if/when they get it together..
