Alice, Bob and Charlie each own 100 PPCoin, and would like to generate more using Proof of Stake.
- Alice keeps her
ppcoind
running all the time - Bob stores them offline for a year, and then runs
ppcoind
for a week - Charlie uses some other arbitrary "strategy", where I define a strategy by a sequence of ON/OFF schedules, that can possibly depend on whether he finds coins in previous schedules. (Technically it's a decision tree).
Would all the above, on average, achieve equal expected amount of PPCoins in their wallets? Is there a dominant strategy? What about a combination of maximum expected value and security (running your client 24/7 might yield the max amount of PPCoins, but it's also the most volunerable one (wallet must be decrypted for coin generation)).
