Odd.... My AC has been sitting in my wallet since April 14th. Hasn't staked one bit. Im on a mac wallet. Temporarily moved the wallet to windows to see if its doing something there.... but nope. Is there some magic spell I need to type on the console to jump start the staking? Maybe something's broken in the wallet? Its all synching and everything just fine... Anyone faced anything similar here?
Do you have your wallet encrypted?
If yes, you need to keep it unlocked
Nope... never encrypted it and was always unlocked.
Here's a screenshot
It clearly shows that you made a deposit on April 25th and a couple withdraws to your wallet April 30th.
In order to have the coins in your wallet stake and receive interest, it takes 14 days from the day you deposit the coins.
During this time, the coins must be left in the wallet untouched.
The wallet app itself does not have to be running all the time.
Just make sure you sync the wallet once a day or so to update blocks.
(you may have to unlock the wallet for it to sync with the network)
Another note worth mentioning to all is,
If you deposit more funds during the 14 day period, the stake period for those coins begin the day you make the deposit.
If you withdraw funds during the 14 day period, only the remaining coins will be eligible for interest after the stake period.
Hope that clarifies how POS works.
