we will have to define terms a little better for me to plug in real numbers
Compounding formulae:
block*((1+(7.5/365*interval))^(365/interval))Where
block is an initial block size in HYP (if we make a calculation just for 1 block for clarity, e.g. 3000 HYP; you can insert here your whole amount of HYP),
interval is an estimated number of days for your blocks to stake, e.g. 10 days.
Interval period
so a block can stake in 9 days (8.8?) If a block stakes in 9 days, what % of interest does it gain?
(7.5/365*interval)This part of the equation gives you an interest (in the form of a multiplier) acquired after some staking interval, which can be no less than 8.8 days. So an interest for 9 days old block can be calculated like this:
7.5/365*9*100 or simply 750/365*9, which gives us 18.49%.
An interest for one day is 750/365 = 2.05%.
I have a block that is about at 9 days, it looks like its about 20% potential stake. If a block doesn't stake right when it hits maturity (that the right word?) it gains weight (likelihood of staking increases), and continues to gain interest - at the same interest rate produced in the initial ~9days or maturing (right word again?) ?
Everything is correct. Every consequent day will add 2.05%, until the block age will hit 30 days.
