Stake power needed to mint PoS blocks starts rising after 30 days from transaction.
30 bitbars is almost 1% of all!! that should make it very very easy to make a PoS Block.
If this is one transaction, I think no more than 2 days after initial 30, and possibly first minutes.
If many very small transactions - it could be another month.
To enable PoS minting you have to unlock Your wallet.
Create a .bat or .cmd file with those lines
@echo off
@echo Enter PPC password...
SET /P variable=Password :
bitbard walletpassphrase %variable% 9999999 true
and run in form your wallet directory after sync, than enter your password and you should see a change in bottom right corner of GUI.
Hi BitBardev,
ah ok that explains some of it.
I only read those examples regarding PPCoin where they said 1 coin for 30 days, and so I thought 30 coins might already start after 1 day, but from what you say it still needs to be the thirty days, so that explains why nothing's happening so far, and why the first PoS blocks only started appearing a few days ago. Does that have to do with proof-of-stake difficulty falling for the past few days when taking a look at getdifficulty output?
I already have my wallet unlocked for minting, but I prefer doing it manually in the client after starting. It's just a pity that with ctrl-l you can delete the console output, but you cannot seem to delete the command history that way, so the password stays visible there.
Thanks!
not a good start
