I know this is a crazy question but, is there any CENT mining pool out there left alive?
If you have trouble transferring CENT in, you can try transferring CENT from one Cryptsy account to another via your trade key. That worked for me.
Transferring from 1 cryptsy user to another is all good because you are transferring between the same blockchain (the one cryptsy is on) so theres no worries with coins being lost there.
With regards to a pool, having a pool at the moment would essentially be pointless due to the block reward currently being 1CENT per block.
the only way to get extra coins now is to Buy some, Stake them and then wait 9 days for the 10% interest rate :-)
Thank you for clearing that up for me. What I don't understand is what the term "stake" means. I currently hold coins on Cryptsy and not a wallet. Is the only way to get the 10% to have the coins transferred to a wallet? Sorry for the questions, but this coin has been all over the place and I am trying to get a grasp on what to do.
Yup the only way to "Stake" the coins are to have them in a wallet, holding them on cryptsy means you wont gain any more.
I believe the term "Stake" comes from the fact that coins in your wallet are temporarily taken from you, your CPU then attempts to create a PoS block and then broadcasts that block to the network. if successful you get your stake coins and the interested generated.(1% of the stake coins)
So you have to have some initial coins or if your a poker player/gambler - Stake money :-)
thats my personal understanding of it, I havent read anything official to say that is correct or not.
As for actually getting the stake, you need to transfer coins into your wallet and then leave them for 9 days - when you open your wallet again after 9 days the computer will start trying to stake - you can normally tell this is happening because the CPU usage for the wallet will jump alot - when the wallet is doing nothing by sitting idle it normally moves from between 0-4% of my cpu, when its staking it jumps massively to 45-50% of the cpu.
It will attempt to stake all coins older than 9 days in the chunks they were depositted in - So if you ended up sending in 5 lumps for 10million coins - you would end up seeing chunks of 10 million vanish from your account, move to the savings interest field and then move back over to the savings field once successful your register will end looking like this after a while (if you have enough income transactions ;-) )
Also as previous poster mentioned, the interest isnt 10%, sorry not sure where i got the 10% from >.< from the looks of the coins that have been staking today, the chunks are 124,000,000 in size and im getting 124,000 coins interest per chunk
the reason the transactions show as 0 at the moment is because it seems that it wants to finish staking the entire wallet before it sorts itself out and starts to display the correct numbers on the front screen
