You can see who has minted during the last 24 hours by using the block explorer's network page. Comparing today's results with tomorrow's results should give a rough indication how many people are staking 24/7.

Here's today's results.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/mint/#!network

It shows the number of clients seen by fairglu's daemon during the last 24hours.
It says nothing about minting / online status / online time.

Btw. next Mintcoin version should get another client / protocol version. It would be nice to see on which version the people are.
Example: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/zeit/#!network

Currently 2.2% of the wallets are staking

I have seen it as high as 9%.

Also please see the latest podcast discussing current bounties and let us know if there is anything else you believe should be in there.

Personally I believe Mintcoin is a great PoS. I have conducted thousands of transactions over the years and am always in awe in how fast the transactions are received and approved. I had one single transaction that glitched about 6 months ago while beta-testing one of our versions and it was fixed and released within a day.

Every now and then I recommend migrating to new wallet with fresh addresses just because if you run allot of transactions the wallet tends to get a little heavy in loading time. (I have done it once and the difference is amazing)

From a technical support aspect I have had maybe 4 cases where I needed development assistance and that was because the operating system was not windows.

I also had one windows case where we found that the windows system needed to be reformatted due to a Windows upgrade.

Considering the number of wallets out there I believe those numbers are impressive in itself.

I have heard the argument of PoS not being secure in the past and after research and testing Mintcoins wallet on a daily basis I personally am not concerned (I am also not a wallet security expert by any means).

Which is why I believe it is important to have an open discussion regarding the wallet and understand the technical security side of the current PoS system.
