After more than a week of staking, I finnaly found a stake. But it was only 0,90 onions?
Isn't it supposed to be 10% of your wallet that you get?

It is 10% for a full year if I understood that correctly. So you only get a small share of that. For the 10% you ll have to let it run for the whole year.

So how would that 10% interest distributed to our wallet? Do I need to open the wallet and let it run in order to get that 10%. Or I can just open it after one year and magically that 10% will be added to my wallet? lol

The idea behind the PoS working is that leaving the wallet open and unlocked for staking adds more nodes to the TOR network. More nodes on the network means a better degree of anonymity for it's users. If your wallet is not open and staking then you're not supporting the network. If you're not supporting the network, then you're not going to be rewarded.

If I oversimplified it, or made an error, I am sure someone will let me know, but that is as I understand and describe it

.

You could also look at it like this : You ave a line of credit at a bank, it charges you 18% interest APR (annual percentage rate). That equals out to 1.125% * 12 months = 18%. So in DeepONIONs case, unless I have misunderstood, it's 10% over the course of a year, and not based on the highest quantity of Onions you hold in your wallet for that time, but, most likely compounded or calculated at each block, where a traditional bank would compound it daily.

From https://deeponion.org/index.php#specifications

PoS
- 60 sec block target.
- diff retarget each block.
- PoS interest will be variable per year

1st year: 10%
2nd year: 5%
3rd and subsequent years: 1%

- minimum holding time before the PoS will be generated 1 day.
- maximum allowed accumulated coin is 30 days.

The miners were talking a bit about it earlier and they do get small payouts regularly, that in total amount to that 10% in a year as you said.[/list]
