What about people staking the coin? is there a wallet update available for windows?
I am getting a lot of stakes that are mined, generated but not accepted. Is this normal?
https://www.screencast.com/t/CeIkiC8Y7h7uThe unaccepted stakes are normal for PoS coins, it occurs when your coins are ready to stake but someone with more weight confirmed that block.
For instance, say I have 1000 Honey and you have 100 Honey, my coins would be more likely to confirm blocks over yours until my coins have less weight than yours do by staking or being sent.
Does this imply that the wallet with less honey has to work harder to reach the point of enough weight to stake, than the wallet with more honey in it? Is this suppose to encourage time spent on staking for the wallet with less honey, so it can reach that point where stakes aren't orphaned? Orphan-stake your ass off, till it eventually works out for you. Is that it?
This is how all PoS coins operate and how all PoW coins operate. A miner putting in more hash than you will have a higher chance to get the block more times than you will if you only put in a small bit of hash power.
A PoS holder with more coins than you will have a higher chance of confirming a block than you because they have more staking power. Once coins stake or are moved then they have to gain their weight back. This is the check and balance for stake mining.
If you only own a small amount of coins then I would suggest disabling staking until your coins can build up enough weight to not produce orphan blocks.
