@Dutch, thank you for providing some further confirmation that net weight isn't reflective of stake. I think this furthers my concerns about v8.
It also helps crystallize the concerns about https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/issues/106#issuecomment-325306653
So, would it be possible for us to get some sort of feature that tries to show the number of coins staking or - is it as the Blackcoin guys said - not possible?
I am told it is impossible, but I am not familiar enough with the underlying source code to give a definitive answer on that.
Given that the Blackcoin devs say it is impossible, I am happy to take their word for it.
