Hi Dev Team or member,
I just finished downloading blockchain for 3 days and transferred all my XP coins 1hr ago in my wallet. Everything is there and I am trying to configure the staking part and followed below steps
Settings > Wallet Security > Unlock for mining
but then it's grayed out and can't click it. Any reason why it's like that? Thnk you in advance.
Regards,
Jason
Your wallet would have to be encrypted to unlock it for mining. Is you wallet Encrypted? If not your wallet is unlocked and will be mining. Try encrypting then click setting > wallet security > unlock for mining. And remember always encrypt your wallets and keep your passwords safe and back up your wallet often(At least every time you create a new address). If you have a valid(Mature) input in the mining tab the Pickaxe at the bottom right of the wallet will light up.
Good luck Jason happy staking.
Hey. I had my coins in minting for couple days and i got coins .. but after that no more coins for minting . Do i have to send my self all balance to be able to stack again ?
every time you stake, your coins get split into 2 "stacks." so if you start with 1000 coins, the first time you stake it will get split into two "stacks" of 500 coins. those stacks in theory would have less weight against the entire network and would have lower odds of staking. at least this is what ive understood from how the wallet works. so what some do is use the coin control features to combine those stacks by essentially sending your balance to yourself using this method:
under settings: options: display tab, enable coin control features. from there go to receive coins and copy your wallet address, then go to send coins and click on inputs. this brings you to your coin stacks. check each box (warning you cant select ones in red which are still confirming) then send your entire balance (minus fee) to your own wallet. this creates one big stack again.
in theory this increases your chances of larger stakes, i once left the small stacks alone and was receiving many smaller rewards each day but no large ones as the "stacks" kept splitting exponentially. i think if you reconsolidate periodically it is probably best. some coins do this automatically in their wallets.
