i thought about not answering you in the thread because as you see, the fuders are starting to aim boomcoin and are proving me right about the time to buy and that this is going up in value.
rasp never posted in the boomcoin thread, but still he say that he was staking and "lost" his coins.
this is most probably pure lie or an end-user mistake (for example, deleting his wallet.dat).
i always staked coins on many many different PoS alts since over a year or more and that kind of thing (loosing your coins) is not possible, nor i ever seen someone that this happened. the only thing that could make that is that if you downloaded an infected wallet for another coin and the virus in it was targeting altcoins and/or specifically boomcoins, or that you did a mistake and deleted important files, like wallet.dat, or that you were on another chain(forked) and sent your coins away in the -void-.
about the max age, it wasn't mentionned in the OP so i would say that there is no max age. but to be sure, i could have a look at the source in github and confirm you that later when i'll be back home. or if other that know would chime in?
cheers.
EDIT : on the source github it say no max age
