I have wallet version 1.17.0.0 on windows 7. I bought coins on 3/20, 3/27, 4/3, 4/10, 4/22, 4/30.
coins minted and showed up in my wallet for:
3/20 group on 4/10
3/27 group on 4/16
4/3 group on 4/23
expecting minted coins from the 4/10 group any time now.
So it looks like every 20 days or so. But my wallet always says “stake: 0″ Do I need to do something to make sure all coins are staking?
When I hover over the minting? symbol on the lower right it displays, “Not minting because you don’t have mature coins.” It changes to how long until minting happens (time varies every few minutes) for a short while before coins show up. Is this normal?
Does minting take place 20 days after coins are added to the wallet or do I need to do something to make sure? Also do the newly minted coins get added to the group of coins that minted them and mint more as a larger group 20 days later and keep repeating this cycle?
What do I need to do to make sure all my coins, old or new are staking?
Is there a way to reset the clock so groups of coins mint together?
The minted coins for the 4/10 group showed up and for maybe an hour the wallet showed a qty of coins next to Stake: equal to the 4/10 group plus the coins minted from the 4/10 group. I guess this means in 20 days coins will be minted from the new total?
Yes that is normal.
When coins enter your wallet, they need to wait 20 days before they become mature. Once they become mature, then they become eligible for staking. When they start staking (minting), then you will see your "Balance" drop, and the "Stake" rise. Once they are successful at staking, you will see transactions come in, and they will be unconfirmed until after 50 confirmations, then your "Balance" will rise again, and the "Stake" will drop. When your coins stake, the new coins are added into the same address that it came from. So then next month, you will have your coins stake again, plus the new coins you minted, will also start staking. If you want to consolidate, then you should move all of your coins into 1 address as one lump sum, then they will be sure to stake the fastest as soon as 20 days is past.
After they stake, they have to wait 20 days again to become mature again.
If a block mints less than 30 days of being created , then it splits in half.
If a block mints after 30 days of being created, then only 1 new block is created with the original amount and the interest combined.
Hope that helps!
