as discussed, staking isn't the issue. There are devious reasons that price is going down, but also another reason; people are not adopting Sync because they can't get the wallet to sync. I have tried to install wallets on more machines today, using ALL the methods explained in this thread, and unfortunately, I ended up giving up - I don't have an entire week to spend installing a fucking wallet. I want my wallet to sync first time and I want to see my purchased coins land in that wallet.
and please, don't lead your arguments with abuse, it doesn't do you any favours.
Well makes me mad people fudding a coin with little reason. I have three machines a laptop and 2 desktops that have wallets on them, 2 are win 8.1 and one is a vista, all have wallets that sync and stake. I have not had any issues with the last wallet. I just did a clean install, opened and closed a couple times while downloading the blockchain, once the download was complete i deleted the new wallet.dat and inserted my old wallet dat and reopened and voila! It works!
yep, good to know you are getting your wallet working. I tried exactly the same method this morning on a Win7 machine and it simply failed to synchronise.
i'll try it again now, once more.
EDIT: lol so ok, it synchronised this time on first load.
