hi,

In your roadmap, you said: "Online only staking: Nodes will only stake while connected to network."

Does it mean I will have to run 24H/24 my wallet for my coins to stake and earn more coins?

Seremas that code change is designed to help secure the network. As it stands now a person could open and sync the wallet once every 35 days and get the stake and then turn the wallet back off. The problem is that the stake reward is a benefit of helping to support and secure the network.

The way the code change should work is that the stake will be done in continuous increments 24/7 as long as the wallet is connected to the network and probably we will also have a minimum node connection count of like 4. So anytime that wallet is online and connected to at least 4 other nodes it will stake at the normal rate. Now if that box is off line then the staking will pause. So if you need to do updates or reboot or whatever the case may be you won't lose 35 days worth of staking but just lose for the time your not connected to the network.

The code hasn't been fully designed and written yet so it's always possible their could be tweaks to the final code depending on community feedback and other considerations.
