How does this staking thing work? Do i need some special settings to do it?
Do I need to keep coins in it or does it work even if it is empty?
You need to have coins in it to stake
OK, thanks for the info.
Is the reward proportional to the amount of coins in the wallet?
I dont know. I have looked at it and I think that if you have a small amount of coins then maybe you dont get the full staking of 5%.
I have seen that in another coin. I also had staking in 5 hours and then I had to reboot my computer and for 2 days it said staking 1 day.
Its proportional usually based yearly so 100 coins should get you 5 over the year it'll be more due to minting the interest Bear in mind low amounts may never get enough weight to stake
Just to have a better idea of what we are talking about: what is "low amount" in number of coins : 10 or 100 or 1000 ?
You have to test because it depends on the network. Nobody can tell.
