Question re: staking; I've been staking on and off for roughly a week but still haven't earned a single coin.  Granted, i am only staking with ~600PIVX, so I know it will take considerably longer.

What I am wondering is, does staking work based on cumulative hours/days?  Or consecutive?  If I stake for 6 hours and shut down my computer, I'm not likely to get anything, but did that time count toward some hidden figure?

Thanks!

My understanding is that its a random chance, the more coins you have the more chance of being randomly chosen. If you stake you might get a payout in 10 mins or 3 weeks, so its kinda cumulative I guess, you had bad luck for the first 6 hours so maybe your luck will improve later.

That said I have a funny feeling you have to stake for 24 hours or something before you even have the chance.

PIVX Slack would be a better place to ask the question.
