looks like u havent been here for some days then, cause ur so wrong.
@mastermined
ur coins have min stake age and max stake age. each coin will have staked at least once in the max stake coin age period(again, IF I have understood correctly, cause im knew as well), but must have surpassed minimum coin stake age, which means u MUST have kept them at ur wallet, without making transcations, for that min period of time. After those specific coins have staked, they reset, w8ing to suprass min coin age again, along with ur new, minted coins. I dont think you need to have ur wallet OPENED at all times, coins age just for sitting at ur drive(at least thats what I gathered from other PoS coins as well). You just have to encrypt, lock and unlock wallet between some days(I do every day), in order to let the mature coins stake(you will see the process in ur wallet as a notification)
ok thanks, so all i have to do is leave the coins in the address and i get paid? do i have to leave the client open or just have the coins not leave the address? if i run a xnode i have to leave the client open all the time to mix right?
i GUESS that when you are an xnode then your wallet (because the wallet is the xnode) has to be opened all day Long (maybe it's also possible to leave it encrypted and still being a xnode).
but when you just want to stake then you are right, just leave them in your wallet and don't move them. i'm pretty sure that even moving coins from one of your XC-wallets to your second XC-wallet (if you have one) would reset the "timer" that indicates how Long your coins are in your wallet.
but you have to sometimes open the wallet, otherwise, if you don't open it for 1 year, then there are 3 possibilities:
1) you get all the staked coins you deserve
2) you get nearly all the coins you deserve and that "nearly" means you have lost the compound interest (yeah thats googletranslate, but english isn't my native, sorry...)
3) you only get the staked coins for the first 30 days.
can someone plz tell me which one of the three above is right?
i would advise you to open your wallet (and unlock it for staking to work) once a week, that frequency should be enough
