my windows wallet tells me "Not staking because you don't have mature coins".
Can someone please explain me the meaning of this statement or forward me a link or doc where this is explained ? Thanks.
Encrypt your wallet (File -> Encrypt)
Write down your password.
Click OK
Wallet will restart
Open GB again (or it might restart)
Unlock Wallet (you'll see 'for staking only' checked)
Wait about 12-24 hours until the coins mature, then go to college and move out of the house. I might be joking on the last two.
Enjoy.
Thanks for responding, bobcaticus.
I did this yesterday and the wallet started staking.
Today I opened the wallet, entered my staking password but staking didn't start and displayed the message "Not staking because you don't have mature coins".
I'm wondering if this is normal behaviour ? And also what does the term 'mature coins' mean ?
