Your coins need to have 1440 confirmations to start forging.
Ah ok thank you for the info.
Also another question I have the client downloaded running etc. How do I unlock like the old version where it was web based. I have put my phrase into it but I dont get where it tells me if it is unlocked or not ready to forge?
I'm not sure I understand your question. the NXT UI has always been browser based.
Or, do you mean some website on the internet where you had previously used your password?
When you log into the NRS, via the browser or the Wesly UI (which is basically just a browser too) your "server" is forging, unless you use the "logout and stop forging" choice.
I am referring to this as I have software client.
That's still a "Web based UI". The NRS is installed and run in the background. You can still, while that wallet is running access it via your browser at port 7876. I also use that wallet for the simplified one click installer, but keep it minimized to the tray. I access it via my browser so I can use LastPass to auto enter my passphrase when needed for transactions.
So, my answer is the same. If you log into it, then it is forging, or will start once you have 1440 confirms and you have an effective
balance.
I hope that answers your question.
