OK, my wallet appears to be staking now. Maybe it just needed more time?? (It's been about 38 hours since I sent the coins to my wallet. I'm running the original .conf file.)
I have same problem with you, so you dont have to do edit the .conf file, just leave it more time and it will auto staking?
Correct. I am currently using the original /unedited .conf file and the wallet is staking. (I had tried the edited .conf for a bit, but changed it back to the original .conf when I didn't see a change in the mining icon.)
