Hi, I did so. But I made a big mistake, cause I've been staking while getting synced and blew off a fair bit of ZEIT. Something's not clear to me, though. This all happened in one night, where I got around 30 transactions with a really impressive frequency, like every 12 minutes. Now that I'm synced and staking, I only got two transactions in 5 hours. What exactly happened?
You can't stake while syncing,
All of those stakes will orphan and it will slow down your syncing alot.

Keep your Wallet Locked when you are not Synced with the network if you have coins in your wallet.
The Blue Check mark will appear a few minutes before synced , but may not be completely synced yet,
Move the mouse over the Blue Check mark , and it will show
Last Received Block was Generated (Time) ago.
When it says 1 minute or less , then it is a good time to unlock the wallet and let it stake.
If it says 5 minutes and you check it again a few minutes later and says 15 minutes, then close and restart your wallet, and it will sync quickly.
If you don't keep the wallet locked until synced, it will still try to generate stake , but since you are not fully synced , they will all be orphans.
(If you don't encrypt your wallet , so it is locked, then run zeitcoin with the following parameters, zeitcoin-qt.exe -gen=0 , this will sync without trying to stake, once you are fully synced ,
restart zeitcoin normally to stake your coins.
Or in some cases can actually try to fork, when this happens your wallet will freeze up at the block number where it tried to fork and not receive any more blocks, until you restart your wallet so it can get back on the correct chain.

Hi, I realised that and got it synced before staking again. But at that point it wasn't staking like before anymore.
