What can I do? It's been 10 minutes and I can't access my funds....
Edit: I don't get how this wallet works. I wanted to send something, but my wallets got caught in the staking thing, now I have to wait a ton of blocks to get them back apparently, and as some come back, others go back to staking.. how do I just get my full wallet out of the stake thing and into my balance? I want to move my funds now not when it decides to stop staking.
Lock your wallet so it stops staking. Then wait, I'm afraid, for the staked coins to clear.
Yeah I though if it wasn't unlocked, the coins would be stuck. Seems like I just have to wait.
The thing is, I entered the password to unlock it to send the transaction, it prompted me with how the total amount I was intending to send was bigger due the fee (apparently you have to discount the fee manually) and somehow in this split second where I entered the password, like 90% of my coins when in stake mode.
Devs should look into that so when you enter the password to send a transaction, coins don't become stuck in stake mode when you didn't intend to stake, because now i have to wait a ton of time for the blocks to pass so I get my coins back.
Am I at least making any coins? if I mined new coins and I get a reward they show under "Unconfirmed"?
You should be making more coins if they are staking - provided they are accepted by the blockchain. If you go into transactions and on the left there is a ? then that means your solve for the block wasn't accepted by the blockchain (but you likely got your stake back quicker.)
Dev is working on a new wallet - perhaps he will incorporate this.
Did difficulty just go up a lot? how do I check this?
It says expected reward (4) days
Did I get really lucky?
Depends how many coins you have but it's likely the network is going to get lots of help real soon.
