Denominated coins is a good idea. 

ANy info on how you would encourage adoption in West Africa?

good job on the update, android and ios wallet would be awsome, so the coin can be used what it's designed for. any eta?

edit: looking at this marketcap, its current position is so low, its surrounded by abandoned coins in the marketcap list, this along with the still active dev makes this one of the best investments atm. only way is up

The Android wallet is to be released soon (don't ask about the delay ), followed by iOS and hopefully BlackBerryOS at the same time. There's vast interest outside of the crypto community.

The Android wallet is a beta version. The plan is to release a new version of the Android wallet at the same time as the iOS and BlackBerryOS wallets. All three versions will require a PIN number to send. The next versions released after that (planned for later this year) should hopefully have the currency denominations (manilla/cowrie/mansa) integrated in some way for the wallets (if possible or necessary).

I've been playing around with QT Designer so I know how to change currency denominations on the desktop wallet and also update the look feel etc. I'll be doing the same with all software, websites etc. By the end of the year we'll hopefully have a common look and feel across wallets, block explorer and website.

There might be delays experienced along the way(!) but that's the plan.

Staking basically takes the pieces of coins you have(Turn on coin control, then send and click inputs to see the pieces) and uses their quantity and age to choose who gets to mint the next POS block. Your coins are used in the block creation, they are split with interest added, and returned to you as staking. It then releases from stalking after the correct amount of blocks(60) following it have been met--this is to be sure the blockchain your wallet has, is the correct one and it's still valid.

Things can go wrong, currently a POW miner can be seconds before you with their calculation. Or due to the speed of ones connection, there might be another wallet generating a POS block at the same time, if all the other wallets see theirs first, you wait. These blocks show up as conflicted with a ? on the transaction. No worries, that chunk of coins will try to stake later.

Lets say you started by receiving 10,000 coins, first time they get staked you end up with lets say 2 coins interest, so two groups of 0 aged coins at 501 count each. Over time the groups of coins you have will increase, and it will take longer and longer for them to stake because of their small size. You can make them bigger again by sending them back to yourself at any time all collected together.

If you leave your wallet open it supports the network, and it will try to stake when the opportunity arises. Or you can leave it closed for a month, for example, and then start it back up with an even greater chance of staking. The interest is based on the coins age, so waiting doesn't lose any interest.

So, whwat's the next step dev?

what determines how many coins in my wallet are "staked"?

I'll give notice. no need to refresh.
 

then i have to refresh this topic once at min.

I can only again apologize for the delay. It's on the way. I'm just as frustrated as you are. To compensate I'll post the apk link here first, and send 10,000 KOBO to the first QR screenshot request posted.

 What about android wallet?

Maybe release wallet so it's easier to install.  I had to figure out how to make .conf myself.

Added to OP

If you are solo mining or using the rpc connection in any way you need to have that rpc stuff filled in. If you mine to a pool or don't mine, you don't need it at all, a wallet should be safer without it.

it s not about your mining pool. You can write there random user and password. You can write any user name ot password .whatever you want.

do i need

 rpcuser=yourname
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcport=yourchosenport


if i'm in a pool mining ?

Look at this link. İt ll be help you

I just installed this wallet but it will not sync it just says " cannot stake because wallet is offline" and "no active connections"
