Hi,
just transfered my coins into the Qt wallet.
i want to stake but the debug console gives me an error when I ---> walletpassphrase YourPassword 31556926000 true
I get: Method not found (code -32601)
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Do I have to wait 24hrs for my coins to mature before I can start staking?
Thanks!
Hi uberpatzer, it does appear you have the correct syntax. You are getting "Method not found" because you have not encrypted your wallet, thus you can not unlock it for it can not be locked in the first place. You would need to encrypt the wallet for the walletpassphrase method to be available however, you do not need to encrypt your wallet for staking to work but, you must wait the 24 hours after maturity.
Your wallet does not need to be running during the 24 hours but, it will not hurt neither and once the time has passed, it will instantly start the staking process. Also, for security reasons, it is recommended you do encrypt your wallet but again, it is not required nor will it prevent staking if you do not.
It sounds like you just need to wait a bit longer. I know, it can be a long 24 hours.
Happy staking!
