Interesting article!
My perception is that staking frequency is primarily influenced by network weight. That might means that some of the forking over the past month could affect that.
I also think that staking every 6 months is the minimum, but it is definitely very reassuring to stake more frequently! Plus you get a little more compound interest by staking more frequently.
Thanks for your post,
Staking is absolutely based upon network weight. But please note that this experiment was run before the forking occurred, and was in fact terminated when the forking began.
Everyone's comfort level for staking frequency is going to differ. But please note that actually staking is not the same as estimated staking. There is some aspect of this which is somehow a random event.
