I started staking and it is not earning anywhere near 5% even..
just to try, I put quite a bit in there (in the 6 digits) sitting in a wallet and it's earning more like, 0.5% (Yes I calculated a yearly amount).
The wallet has been open for 3 days now and is unlocked using the encrypted PW. Anything else I need to do?
For each 100K of potcoin, it should be earning about 16 potcoins per day, no?
When your coins are all sitting in balance (not sitting in staking) but the green staking light suddenly comes on (below right hand side). At that exact time..... CLOSE your wallet. (hit the X)
leave it alone now for at least 48 hrs or more. Then open your app, and OPEN your wallet. Your earned coins will come in shortly. Should be more than what you have been getting. 6 to 10 coins per 10,000 coins approx. (not per day though)
In my opinion, Potcoin WANTS us to keep our wallets open to help secure the network. However.... the amount of coins earned from an OPEN wallet, isn't worth it to me.
Hope this helps you.
Edited to add: Recently I have noticed that the coins earned has gone down. Not sure why. 10,000 coins is earning 3.5 coins over a cpl days. Sucks.
