Does anybody know how long it takes to stake?

I intend to buy a AMD Radeon r9 280x for mining vanilla coin.
I look for a tutorial that explains how to mining vanilla and how optimized the AMD Radeon r9 280x for 400 Mh / s

Just download Smolen's miner and run it. I wouldn't advise to buy a GPU just now for mining Vanillacoins (or anything else) though, since block rewards dropped to 88 and FPGA's are just around the corner which will be far better in terms of energy efficiency.
But if you plan on buying a good GPU anyway for gaming and etc., go on.
I don't agree, you can find good used R9 280x for funny prices and FPGA miners wont kill GPU mining in terms of hash. The real advantage of FPGA's is in low power consumption which means almost nothing if someone wants to mine with 1 or 2 cards from gamer PC when PC isn't in the gaming purpose use and specialy if someone else is paying electricity bills
Thank you for your support.
Thanks for sharing,... but only time will tell

Yes. John made the commit on github a month ago or so.
Only 3 connections are required for mobile, desktop wallet, or server daemon to maintain sync. This was done in order to reduce the bandwidth and power needed for mobile staking.
If you open your port, you will get more connections. Go into your config.dat to find out what port Vanillacoin is using.

Hey, thanks so much for this and thanks also @traum for adding this to the FAQ, have a great weekend guys!

BTW don't forget to use the faucet: http://faucet.vanillacoin.net/
With the current difficulty it's a good way to get a few coins.

Is there a reason why there is only always 2 or 3 connections in the client? Is there checkpointing or does this have other reasons?
Thank you and best of luck in the future with this!

Buying a GPU just for mining right now, to mine VNL, means you'll never see that money back at current valuation and difficulty.
COULD. That implies taking on risk, which I didn't assume he wanted to do.

IRC conversation revealed that VNL dev john-connor doesnt want hype around development which is good cause anyone can accumulate more VNL @8k.
If you have any Q and looking for some A just jump on IRC:

I'm running wallet opet for last 40 hours - not one stake yet
It can be because of several things. If you deposited a larger amount at once it can take time to stake, or if you have only a smaller amount your net weight can be low.
Give it time.
my 5 cents, where can i see that net weight or probability estimates ?
Net weight and probability are not shown in the wallet, there is no need for that since they are estimates anyway and the POS is low on VNL (0.7%). It would matter more with the current high POS coins where you actually earn your $ with staking instead of mining.
I'll ask John though if he plans to implement it in the future.

If you deposit large volumes of vanillacoin in one time will that stake more than small deposits? Or if you deposit more you get more stakes?
And do you need more connections to stake more?
Thanks in advance
Larger holdings deposited in smaller increments (like 500-1000s) tend to stake more. POS has it's own difficulty just like POW does here, also POS competes with blocks versus POW. The larger your holding is, the more chances are there that you will generate POS blocks and thus take away POW blocks.
Number of connections shouldn't be relevant.
