Got my coins staking now as no point of having them on Trex as not looking to sell anytime soon, not got many but every little helps

Exactly and at this moment every little bit helps. It has been 1.5 hours without block found, so any wallet that can be brought online with blocks ready to stake is welcome - more wallets need to stay online & stake!

The wallet and network is not designed for being off-line for a long time and then being brought online for a short time, because when the wallet sees old, high-reward blocks it apparently starts assembling a lot of inputs into a few larger (~1k GAM) blocks, so the result is that a wallet with 10k GAM, instead of having 1000 or so small inputs, will end up with 10 big inputs. So, next time the wallet comes online it will generate 10 blocks and then it is done. If many people do this, then not enough blocks are generated to mature the staked inputs (which need 510 confirms before be ing allowed to participate in staking again) so if there are 20 or 30 wallets that are used for staking but only brought online every other day or so, they might each contribute a few dozen blocks (approx 1 block per 1k GAM) so there is a risk like now that even after a few days, not enough blocks have been generated to mature the blocks are we have a catch-22 until more wallets are being brought online to allow a few wallets to mature *BUT* there is a risk that those wallets will see old inputs and instead of splitting inputs and creating more blocks in future (each input can generate a block if not re-combined) the wallets may get locked into a state where too few blocks are created, so all available inputs for staking are old and the wallets see that inputs are too old (which normally means that they are too small to stake quickly) so they combine inputs to make bigger inputs to stake faster - only making the problem worse.
NOTE that this presumes that the wallet checks the *date* of the input. I did not check the code to see if the date or Nr of Confirms is used for deciding to split or re-combine, so this risk may not happen if indeed the wallet is looking at the confirms instead of date.
Who can bring more wallets online? It has been 2 hours since the last block (instead of 1 per minute). At his rate, you can't even move the GAM in or out the wallet without waiting for hours!
BTW, block 71835 is the long awaited one...
