Maybe I need to explain my comments:
lot of empty blocks
Two third of the blocks are empty, and the non empty blocks have in average only 4 transactions. Of course, is good to have space for future, but what is concerning me is that we have less transactions (20k, compared to 30k one year ago)
staking is more difficult
This is also a personal experience. Loking on the numbers, it's eight times more difficult today than one year ago. And this is prohibiting for new comers...
going more and more to non-crunchers
More than 60% of the blocks are created by non-CPID users, compared to 30% one year ago.
Well, I agreed with the view that more empty blocks is not good. If there is fewer transactions - it's not good either. I agree on that. As for staking difficulty, it's what community and developers were aiming for, so blockchain is safe.
That's different topic, I thought you were talking about GRC rewards, not number of staked blocks. Big topic. Is it important at all (whether non-CPID users or CPID users stake blocks)? There is only 960 blocks per day, seems there is no way to scale staking so many users could stake, as many will always reach some limit. Thus big topic on scaling, decentralization, efficiency, safety and speed of the network...
“Fortunately” we are in a position that we can handle the current volumes but I think we should take the opportunity now to prepare ourselves and be ready for the future.
