Curious, so if the min stake age was set to an hour in the latest version of the wallet, the blockchain measures time in blocks, not actual time correct? So these coins I withdrew would need not be eligible for 60 blocks, not literally an hour? If thats the case, then yeah, we need a fork and community takeover because we won't ever get that far.
That's correct, we need to fork and reduce nTargetSpacing to increase the rate at which blocks are generated. Reducing the stake age won't help with moving the blockchain.
What about stake difficulty? Isn't that the reason it's taking so long to get the next block, kind of like PoW after big hash power leaves? The target time is 60 seconds, do we really want to reduce it to get things moving, then increase it later to correct the block rate? If we lower the initial difficulty that should get block time closer to 60s target, right?
I think if we are determined to keep the coin as PoS only there are a bunch of numbers needing to change, but let's gather some more opinions on what numbers to change... I am new at this, so any info you have about other coins n stuff would help.
I am also open to (and in favour of) re-starting PoW, mostly as a way to generate blocks and get transactions moving, using a very low block reward so that it's still primarily a PoS coin.
