Weight includes coin age and number of coins. Here you can understand it as the weight of a coin.
The higher this Weight value (the larger the amount of coins and the longer the coin participates in staking), the greater the possibility of gaining the right to process transactions and create blocks. Therefore, it directly affects the reward that you will receive in the future.
How to optimize profits when Staking?
Based on the parameters that directly affect Staking mentioned above, you can partly know how to adjust these indicators to get the most rewards and highest profits. In this section, I will mention how to participate in Staking to get the most profit.
Determine the appropriate method
First, classify according to demand and amount of coins held:
For those with a small amount of coins (not enough to make a Node or Masternode):
The best option is to participate in voting, or Staking on existing Nodes to receive rewards from those Nodes. This form includes Staking right on the wallet, or on some supporting exchanges.
For those who have a small amount of coins and intend to hold them for a long time, Staking will help them earn an additional amount of coins during that period of time.
For those who hoard large amounts of coins:
They can also apply the above method if they want to be flexible in the coin locking process. Or you can nominate to be Nodes or Masternodes that directly participate in transaction processing and block creation.
This method will help stakers receive more rewards. But of course there will also be higher requirements for hardware installation and connection.
