I've got just over 1k in my wallet and I will say that I'm not too sure how accurate the estimated staking time is. I've consistently had an estimated staking time of 150 days, yet for the past two weeks I've been staking about every 2-4 days. That being said I would agree that 100 GRC is probably too little to be able to stake with within the 6 month reward window.
