I chose Native Mode. I synchronized the blockchain.
100% | 247711 / 247711 | Connections: 4
I put about 1100 VRSC on my wallet.
It all works on Amazon VPS.
Mining Status: False
Staking Status: True
After 24 hours of operation, the balance of the wallet has not changed.
What am I doing wrong???
You probably just have to wait. The average return right now in staking is about 57+% annually, but it is statistical, like mining, and comes in 24 coin block rewards. That means 1100 coins should earn maybe 500-600 coins or so over the year, but it will be in 24 coin chunks.
You can calculate your expected luck (waiting time in days on average) and return with this spreadsheet, by downloading it and entering both the current block from the explorer and the amount you are staking with:

Explorer is https://explorer.veruscoin.io
What proportion of vrsc are staking at any time, how can we check that?
It's a little involved to get a live number of the amount the network believes to be staking. Basically, it would be derived from the staking difficulty target, similar to Chain Power, described in the proof of power document a few messages above, over the last 10 or so staking blocks. It can be derived, and if you want to write a python script or something, we could help you. Otherwise, the proof of power doc is something that could give you a starting point. We will calculate and expose that number in an upcoming release, as a lot of people would like to have it easily available.
