Update: I tried it on another PC and it runs, the rig is running a core i5 and the machine I am having an issue with is a Core2 Duo. Going to try it with another PC with an AMD cpu to see if I can isolate the issue.

    Another thing to consider, are you downloading to each of the machines? or did you make a copy of the code on the original machine and try it on the others?  IE.  could it be the download that's screwed up?

Sounds like an extraction issue to me, but could be way off

All machines are running wifi: laptop (the machine with wallet issue) and 2 custom desktops (one an i5 and another a AMD Phenom II, both on wireless bridges and both work fine with the wallet). Think it might be an issue with the laptop.

Well right now my coins are able to be sent to a exchange, the other way it would take hours or days. If the price jumped crazy right now I could react, the other way I could not. Also without coin control you would never know what coins have what age.

What I did yesterday worked. I just staked in about 3 minutes. So every 3 days I'm going to move my coins to a new address, otherwise you won't get near the 5000% Interest.

How long did "day 5" take, yesterday it took 2.5 hours for 8 POS transactions to happen. I sent all my coins to a new address(fee was 12.8 BALLS) yesterday, otherwise I would have 16 POS transactions today and a even higher fee to move the coins.

Day 5 and the stakes are still splitting.  Started with 3 stakes on day1 now up to 48 (maybe) today day 5.  I think the coin age is reset after each stake, so they're never reaching 2 days old.  Which I'm assuming means they will never reach 30 days old.  

   I understand where your coming from, but the stake value(interest) continue to accumulate till the coins get staked.  So the coins that staked in 24 hr. got x coins the ones that took longer got x+ a little.  So the reward (stake value, interest) is calculated at stake time, not start of stake.  By combining the coins, your decreasing the stake contention, and making your stakes more predictable.  But for that your losing the transaction fee.  

   I believe the current concept will eventually even out, and actually help make sure folks keep there wallets staking, thus keeping the network more robust.   I know I closed my wallet when I knew nothing could stake for another 18 hours.

Anyone care to help me with the issue of the Windows wallet not working at all? It doesn't even execute at all when I try to start it. Any help would be gladly appreciated....

Tried restarting the computer?
This helped someone else yesterday.
I personally havent had an issue with the wallet.

Did that several times and downloaded the wallet multiple times also. Still it doesn't run at all.

   What version of windows?  Have you tried opening a command prompt, going to your wallet directory ("CD xxx" command), and entering the wallet program name there, thus starting it?  If it's something windows doesn't like it should spit out some messages to the console to help figure out the problem.    

Did that also, both is Admin and standard user mode, still nothing. It doesn't even post an error.

Sounds like it didn't extract properly from the rar. Try downloading it from there instead

Tried that out just now and still no go. This is really perplexing, this is a first for me that a Qt wallet doesn't even try to execute at all and no errors are popping up.

Runs fine on win 7.

I even tried to run compatibility mode on Windows 8.1 to run as Windows 7 and still not operative at all also....

There are only a certain amount of blocks per day. Eventually instead of staking all your coins in an hour, it will be spread across the full 24 hours, resulting in some not staking and not splitting. Trust me, a lot more thought went into inflation control than I may be leading on

There is a community project called PeerUnity that added coin control and other useful feature to Peercoin, so adding it in a community BALLS project would not be hard since BALLS is based on PPC; I will not be adding it to the official client, though. Someone touched on one of the main, among other, reasons a few pages back

   It's still going.  That's why I said maybe. Smiley   I still have staking going on now that is about 4 hours since eligible.  Plus I'll have another  2 start in 2 hours.  

   Coin control would help some, but with all of the coins coming off the exchanges and into wallets and then splitting, staking is going to get longer and longer.  

    So I guess I just answered my previous question, splitting will stop once it take longer then 2 days to stake.  Bigger blocks will stake faster and get split, small blocks will eventually take longer then 2 days and should stay the same size + the stake.  This may actually work to govern the staking.   But eventually the quick staking will just be a happy memory...

Still need to finish lining up the boxes, but the generator is working, now. I'll iframe it into the actual website later
