It takes a while but it stakes, the higher the network weight the more time your coins weight needs to mature to compete, that is if the deposited input you have is big enough.

Thank you BF. I will wait. I have increased my qty of coins in my wallet to 270.x. I have a total of two transactions. first was 30.x and after that the little icon lower right said my weight was 15 and after second tx of 240.x the icon said my weight was 16.

Is the weight calculation a formula of the number of transactions, or qty, or both multiplied over time? Or is there some other formula. Is it a public formula or is withheld?

I have done some searching and sometimes it is beneficial to break up your staking into many transactions, but those articles seemed to indicate that was a better decision when dealing with a longer MinST(minimum stake time) or MaxST. I am just wondering if I should buy coins in a more regular pattern or if its better to buy one big chunk.

I appreciate any answers you can provide.

Well since the Minimum stake time is 1 hour I would say just combine all your inputs into one to create a quicker building weight, once staked I would recombine the balance again into a single input and wait for the stake, rinse & repeat.
