Your coins will mature anyway, wallet open or closed, so you'll stake.
You'll just get less stakes if you don't run it 24/7.

   Coin (input) is eligible to stake 3 days after the transaction that put it in your wallet.
   Every second it gets a better and better chance to mint as it gets older.
   But at 9 days after sitting in your wallet, the chances get no better.
   Every second your coin will earn more and more interest once it mints.
   But at 15 days, the potential earnings are capped. That means you can't open your wallet after 365 days and earn 20% interest. The most interest you will earn on an input is 0.822% (20% * 15 / 365).

   So if you open your wallet every six months to stake, you'll earn just over 1.65% interest (1.00822 * 1.00822).
   If you open it every 3 months you'll earn about 3.3% interest.
   If you open it every 45 days, you'll earn about 6.7% interest.
   If you open it every 22.5 days, you'll earn about 14% interest.
   More frequently than that, you'll approach compounding to nearly 22% (based on a nominal APR of 20%).

The last calculation goes like this:
(1 + (0.20 * 3 / 365.0))**(365.0/3) - 1

Thanks!
Any block size hint?

EDIT:

Code:

StealthCoin Syncing Made Easy

1. Back up your wallet
2. Stop the old client
3. Go to the application data directory (Windows: "%appdata%/StealthCoin", OS X: "~/Library/Application Data/StealthCoin")
4. Remove blk0001.dat, database (directory), db.log, debug.log, and txleveldb (directory); or just remove everything but wallet.dat
5. Download the zipped bootstrap file from https://tinyurl.com/xst-bootstrap
6. Unpack the bootstrap file into the application data directory
7. Start the new client
8. For the new client your computer will pause momentarily at 71% to fill the key pool (you may not notice)
9. The progress will pause at 91% for as much as two hours (up to 4 hours for old computers!) to validate the bootstrap file. Do not interrupt this process!
10. The chain may take 5 to 10 minutes to sync after the bootstrap is complete
11. In some cases, the client may crash either right before bootstrap or right after. If so, just restart.

I Actually made this way, latest wallet version, running an MSI Apache-Pro GE62 7RE with 24GB of RAM and still startup screen is stuck at 93 Huh
