Hey guys. I'm pretty new to both mining and PoS staking, so I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right with HYPER at the moment.

So I got a few hundred coins in my HYPER wallet. I encrypted the wallet, it restarted, then I clicked the "unlock wallet" button. Now it shows me a green lock in the bottom, if I hover the cursor over it it says "wallet is encrypted and currently unlocked". However, it's been 2 days now, and there has been zero activity - amount of coins is the same, and the "stake" field remains at 0.00
Now, am I doing something wrong, or does it simply take longer to stake the coins? Huh

Thanks in advance for any help, it's very much appreciated!

What's your "expected time to earn reward" and "your weight" say BigDaddy?

Hi BigDaddy0790,

Make sure to leave your wallet on to be eligible to receive stakes, although your coins do gain age even if your wallet is off. You should at least receive one stake daily (one stake per block/input of HYPER you own). Also if you have 1 HYPER, you may not earn a stake b/c you just don't have enough to increase your coin age over time to warrant a stake to "compete" with other stakers. If you leave your wallet off, make sure to turn on your wallet once every 30 days, since 30 days should guarantee a stake no matter how much HYPER you have. It's also possible you may need to combine your HYPERs into one block by sending all your HYPER to yourself, but that's something you probably don't need to do unless you've been receiving really tiny amount of HYPER at a time from someone.

Make sure to leave your wallet on and update the blockchain and see if you have received a stake after you are up-to-date with the blockchain. If that doesn't work, then we probably have a problem.

Thanks.

It's also random... I have had stakes of 20-30 come within a minute, while a stake of 1500 that was offline for 3 weeks (read: has a lot of age) took almost 9 hours.

But to the person asking... just let it go. The coins will continue to age, so when they DO stake, you will just get more (if you would get 1 coin after 24h and it takes 3 days to come in, it'll give 3 coins).
