Hey! Welcome!
Sorry to hear about the trouble, I'm not a tech genius, but what version of the wallet are you running?
A few of us also chat on IRC #okcash if you can join there
Staking depend of a number of factors, not accepted ones are called orphans, this is based on a security feature so stakes can not be exploited and this are made when your wallet process a stake but it was already submited by another client hence only the first one becoming accepted, it happens more with more people staking as everyone is fighting to get their stakes accepted, OK is now on an average of 50% staking network, so is normal to get orphaned stakes, if you feel you are having a lot of them try moving your okcash to a new address and give them 24-48 hrs to start staking again, some people has found usefull to divide their quantity among different addresses in the same wallet as each address process their own stakes.
hope it helps and make it a bit more clear, if you require more assistance feel free to post here or send a message to [email protected]
you can check the % of network staking at http://explorer.okcash.co
P.S: even so, staking will get improved in future releases when we move to POS v3
Half the network is staking! Anyone know of a coin with more? (just curious, not trying to sound cocky)
