So I sent coins to myself to have a single input yesterday. It has been over 25 hours and my wallet is unlocked and it's still indicating that staking is not active. I have activated multisend if that makes a difference. Is there anything I have to do besides unlock the wallet for staking in order to be actively staking? Please let me know. Thanks

If you sent the coins to yourself that could be the problem. V3 is a new chain. Review the guide in the OP (Post 1).
Best method is to dumpprivkey in V2 and then, importprivkey in V3.
I sent them to myself using the V3 wallet. I had no problems with the transaction and all my coins are where I want them. The part I have a problem with is that the wallet tells me staking is inactive. I was under the impression you just had to wait 25 hours from a new input for it to start minting, and that's not happening. So what else do I need to do?
