After downloading the wallet, update the nodes,  buy some coins and send them to your wallet,
Then just check the box auto optimize and change the block size to 300 and let it run 24 hrs a day.
some days I get 2 blocks per 1000, some days .5 blocks per 1000 averages about 1 block per 1000 coins, Iv'e been running this wallet for over a year with almost no problems, just update the nodes once in a while, sit back and collect the pos reward. after awhile send some coins to bittrex, sell when the wave hits a high,  buy them back when the price dips,     A simple plan that works for me.
