closed wallet wont affect stake profit over time but will affect network and that's why staking devides your staked block by 2 to make 2 blocks required for the next stage the 4 then 8 - 16 - 32 - 64 etc
My coins in wallet are "mining" and make new coins for me. But why staked blocks will be divided by 2 is unclear to me
the reason for it is to keep the network running smooth
when POW is over the network needs to replace the new POW block created every 2 minutes with new stake blocks created every 2 minutes but there wont be enough users with open wallets to do this so the network will collapse
the way around that is for the wallet to divide each staked block by 2 which will create twice as many blocks then when everyone stakes again we get 4x then 8x then 16 times and then there is enough people staking many blocks to allow transactions to take place every 2 minutes and every block counts as a confirmation in a transaction
I think we don't have coin control yet (I may be wrong I cant be bothered looking) but when the dev sees the coin can support itself in pure POS mode then they will give us coin control so we can regroup our small blocks back into big ones
it seems the devs have given us coin control but just look at it for now don't use it until you know you have figured out how to use it. its easy to group coins that could have been staked and loose the interest
you can enable it in settings
Sterlingcoin is YOUR currency. Why shouldn't you be able to earn interest on YOUR currency the second its in YOUR possession?
Also Coin Control (amazing name) is exactly that, you in control of your Sterlingcoin.
But. Be careful, this is intended for advanced users only.
agree, its too easy to loose stakeable coins enable with caution
