Hi guys, I'm quite a newbie, but I have a little problem: after mining monero with my CPU, this is the first altcoin I'm mining.
Of course I won't be rich of money (I'm almost at 100 DMX and I'm already happy), but I want to be (at least) rich of knownledge...

If you check my wallet ( https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dmx/address.dws?DGBJeybgh7o1NJtL74oKQk3aip52m6dT4r.htm ) you will see that it was able to stake until 2017-09-16 13:28:55.
Since there it doesn't stake anymore.

While I was able to stake, I didn't have any c:\users\\appdata\roaming\darkmatter\darkmatter.conf file configured (file didn't exist).

Then I stopped staking (and I don't know why)...
So I created darkmatter.conf file, by copying the above one:

rpcuser=rpc_dmxuser
rpcpassword=******************
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=33125
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
addnode=101.98.48.226
...
...
...

But I have some question:

- is "rpcuser" and "rpcpassword" values that I can freely write or have I to register them somewhere before? (if yes where?)

- both before and after adding conf file with all "addnodes" keys, in my wallet I can always see 3 or 4 active connections to darkmatter network: is it normal? (with other wallets i.e. DeepOnion I see a lot of connections without any conf file)

- I can see that my staking weight is 80 and network weight is almost 8millions... is this the cause because I don't stake anymore?

Can I do something else to stake again?

I tried to search answers to my questions, but these ones are without responses.
Thanks to who will help me.

Hi

-"rpcuser" and "rpcpassword" are that you can freely write, but cannot post!
By writing them, you are creating them. (no need to register somewhere else)

- If you will leave wallet open long time. Connections will slowly increase. (even without darkmatter.conf)
Adding addnodes makes this process faster.
Add more addnodes. You can find them here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dmx/#!network (nodelist)

- your weight grows up with time. It is normal, you only have to wait.

- After hitting POS block your input will start stake again after 24 hours.
