I think Mempool is no of sstx that are waiting to get included in a block, each block can only contain 20 sstx. PoS poolsize is tickets that are already bought and waiting for their turn/call to vote. Farther away PoS poolsize is from 40960, higher the ticket price becomes on every difficulty adjustment. Someone correct me if i am wrong.
I think you are correct. It is the allmempooltix part of getstakeinfo command. Weirdly, I was trying to buy when mempool was single digits and couldn't; now it is up to ~800 and I am getting tickets. Maybe there is an orderly line and I am in the front of it now.
I'm started to stake Decred in my wallet 24/7 online, but i don't know how to check if is correctly staking/ticketing....any command to check this? Can't find in any guide. Thanks
you can use getstakeinfo command to see following info, If it is working you will know Code: { "poolsize": total no. of tickets, "difficulty": price of one ticket, "allmempooltix": whole n/w's tickets buying tx (sstx) waiting to be included into a block, "ownmempooltix": your tickets buying tx (sstx) waiting to be included into a block, "immature": tickets that voted but their rewards not yet spendable, "live": your tickets currently waiting to vote, "proportionlive": your tickets/whole n/w tickets, "voted": tickets that voted and matured so rewards now spendable, "totalsubsidy": total staking rewards you have earned, "missed": your tickets that were not able to vote, "proportionmissed": your missed tickets/your total tickets, "revoked": tickets that missed and are removed from mempool so that your coins are again spendable }
Successfully set this up (aws PoS mining). So far 9 votes, 1 missed, 1 revoked. Just data FYI. I was disappointed to see the one missed vote, and assume the revoked ticket is associated with that missed ticket. Otherwise running well.
I wonder why. I have been running it on AWS Windows 12 Server and have not missed any votes. It has been about a week and I have cast 48 votes and missed none. The only trouble I have had is a slow connection in the evenings. I don't think that this affects my wallet though, just my terminal into the server. Have you missed more votes? Did you see that the Mainnet PoS pool is up now? Maybe that would work better for you.
That is what I have seen to be the case, as well. Edit: I have not yet figured out how to track the confirmations of my voted stake + reward.
Same statistics as of now. I'll continue to post stats and am glad to hear your positive results, Bill. I just updated balance to maintain to move over to a pool if the poor performance continues.
Yeah, I'm hoping for a GUI, that have that ability. I suck at math, and I mean, really suck at math. So it can be a challenge for me, to keep track of it, and I just end up figuring. "Ooh well, around 21 hours after the fact.."
Yeah, I don't even bother tracking. I just see coins show up from mining and staking regularly. I just trust it is accurate. All going higher, so that is good.
Thanks, Adam. The pool seems like a good idea. Will be a pain as you will have to do it as stakes and rewards roll in. Once it is done it should be hassle free.
If you are tracking which block height the ticket voted on then If revoked, available on block no (block height voted on + 1) else available on block no (block height voted on + 256) e.g. if voted on 8000 then if revoked available on 8001 else available on 8256 That works perfectly, dont go by time but block no. as time could be variable.
Update: 11 votes, 1 missed (adjusted from 3, see below), 1 revoked. 2 of the missed were due to my not unlocking my wallet after updating to v0.0.6, indicated by the error below: [ERR] WLLT: Cannot handle chain server voting notification MissedTickets: Error encountered attempting to create revocation using ticket <long ticket #>: failed to sign ssgen or ssrtx, error: address manager is locked Would anyone else share their stats for PoS mining using AWS? Any missed?
Is there any reason to continue solo PoS mining now that the PoS pool is out? What would you say? I'm trying to figure out if there's any benefit to continue solo mining or is it better to just move to the pool. Does the pool take some fee, and how much? Also, am I thinking about this correctly: to "move" from solo stake mining to pool stake mining, one needs to run wallet with -enablestakemining but -maxticketprice 0, so that one gets the DCR from the purchased tickets back (in the case one has staked everything)... and then once the DCR are back, one enters the pool? Or can it be done simultaneously? All my DCR are staked in solo mining atmo on Amazon and as I don't have the free year I'm thinking to move to pool mining to avoid the fees.
I think you will need to do this the same way but assign voting rights to the pool (as per pool instructions) Note: this purchase should be done from your secure home wallet - not AWS wallet. Return stake+rewards go to wallet that purchases SStxs. This means that you will need to send DCR to your home wallet little by little as stakes+PoSrewards roll in. A real pain, I know. I will probably just keep AWS. This separation will seem more decentralized to those watching DCR from outside; so, good for the network.
Thought I'd update since my more negative earlier post. 105 voted 1 missed 1 revoked Very happy with AWS.
