I am brand new to hyp (just bout 25k) and have a few questions.

1) what is weight and how does it work?

2) How big should I set my block sizes to in hopes of getting stakes ?

3) Do you get staked faster the larger block size you have?

4) I had read that around 5k per block was good however might not be so now.

Thank you in advance for any answers you can provide.

Thanks for the reply.

The 25k coins is currently all that I have invested atm. I do plan on adding more in the future, as I gain more bitcoin etc. I will probably be looking at adding an additional 25k or so coins every 2 weeks. I was originally going to split all my blocks into 5k sized blocks, however, it sounds like they get staked more frequently at a larger size even though the reward is the same. I am leaving wallet open 24/7 with the exception of the occasional reboot, I would assume that gives me a better chance of being staked? My next deposit I may look into doing a 12k and a 13k block. Also once my smaller 5k blocks stake maybe combine some of them to 10 or 12k each.

How quickly do you stake with 10k blocks ?

I am asking blindly because my first set of blocks aren't even mature for another 2 days. Im pretty new. I started out at 5k blocks.

The explorer shows some handy information http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/

You can see on the chart that the average stake has around 150,000 weight. This is roughly equivalent to a block of 10k HYP at ~15 days.

But one thing to keep in mind is that as Trololol mentioned, there are only about 960 stakes per day network wide. This is all a game of statistics. The more blocks you have, the more tries to stake you are producing every second. The more weight you have per block, the more likely that specific block will be to stake.

The age old question in HYP is whether it is better to have smaller blocks or larger blocks. Smaller blocks will create more tries to stake per second (each block tries once per second) but they have less weight each. Larger blocks have less tries per second, but more weight.

Everyone has a different opinion on the correct block size, and it is something you will get the feel of as you start rolling in the stakes over time.

No, I have 25 conns right now.

Your problem might be caused by your ISP, sometimes it happens with my wallet too.
Normally I have 64-65 which is the max I get.

*cough cough*

On the other hand, it took an epic amount of effort to secure said woman... and it was a wise investment.
