Good going community. I updated the chain and wallet
had a question though: how long does it take to stake. My wallet keeps saying i dont have enough weight and last time it was open for a week at least.
Cheers
Best to have at least 50-100 coins in your wallet to stake (better >1000) - also if your coins have been in your wallet for too long they may be too old to stake (weight reduces with age), if you send your coins back to yourself you'll reset the age. From then it should take around 8 hours. The more blocks you have to stake, the higher chance you have of a block being picked which is why I recommend around 1000XMG.
Hope that helps.
When you say 'too old' can you please provide an indicative number of days? I have never managed to stake.
(I think) Its more in confirmations than days - the age of a block is determined by when it was created in the chain.
You can check the age of all of your coin blocks by selecting Options > Display > Enable Coin Control Features
From there a new panel will be opened called Inputs... under 'Send', if you click on that, you'll see the number of confirmations of all of your blocks
I usually send them back to myself if they are older than 10,000 confirmations since the chances of them staking becomes less at around there in my experience - there is an algorithm for setting the likelihood of a block being staked - see the whitepaper in the OP for more details if you are interested
Also check that you have posii=1 enabled in your magi.conf and optionally have the split and combine thresholds set - there are examples of this in the conf folder in the zip file that Joe prepared
Be sure that you also unlock your wallet for staking (I guess you already tried this)
