I run a pool and haven't ever seen any stake in my pools TEK wallet, is there some secret to enabling staking or isn't it supported in the command line wallet?
My other theory is coins sent for mining payments are the 'oldest' in the wallet so I never have any of the same coins there for over 30 days. I've always got a balance in the wallet, i.e. its never empty so should I technically be receiving stake or not?
I don't have an official answer, but I would guess that you don't have coins in long enough. It takes a bit over 30 days. As far as I know, there's no "secret" method nor anything that requires the QT wallet, but if you don't see it as a security risk, you might try running QT instead of the daemon, just set up as a server. It's coin control features will allow you to set the priority on coins and only spend the newest mined or minted coins. This is probably doable from the command line as well, but I have no idea how
I know the coin control is either the same or very similar to hobonickels, so you might check their wiki. Also, if I understand it correctly, the wallet has to be unlocked for it to stake. Which might pose a problem for a pool.
In a far less dynamic environment, I have gotten stakes from both the older wallet prior to presstab and Tranz becoming involved, and the new one. QT in both cases, so I don't know if that applies or not. I do know that the staking algorithms work.
My TEK pools been running for at least 4 months, always had a decent balance in the wallet so can only assume the coins are randomly chosen but end up with a full turn over before 30 days. Might be time to go with a hot/cold wallet concept for TEK to earn stake on these coins, unfortunately QT isn't an option as its a command line server.
I figured that might be the case. I don't think the daemon has coin control, either. I'm not sure of that. With the QT, if you have coin control enabled, it defaults to spending the lowest weighted coins, and you can manually choose which blocks to spend from. So, yeah, if it were me, I'd take the majority out of the hot wallet and stake 'em in a QT wallet. Spend out to the pool as needed.
Speaking of which, I'm probably going to point a gridseed your way soon
Never could get my AMT/TECHNOBIT to work right with your pool, and I don't know why. Others did, so it had to be something specific to my machine. Yours wasn't the only pool it hated either. But my gridseed don't seem to care, so I'll try again with it. I shall begin the predation of your hobonickels very soon!
