Hi malvino, to give a really rough estimate with a fair amount of assumptions, 50,000 DNotes would allow you to reach stake reward daily, and 5,000 DNotes would allow you to reach stake reward weekly. We are also considering that in the future we will be able to have staking pools, which will allow those with lower amounts to be able to stake and receive reward more frequently. Nothing has been settled yet as far as that goes, but it is on our wishlist. As we continue to grow, those estimates will change, and it will become increasingly more important.

Thanks for that information, especially on the amount you'd need for weekly vs. daily rewards. Will staking be able to happen within the DNotes Vault? Or will it be necessary to have our own desktop wallets for that?

Weirdly enough, because of the DNotes Vault, I've never actually owned my own DNotes wallet. I'm not sure what I'll do after the big switch.

The DNotesVault is one of the biggest reasons we need deferred staking. Ideally, those who are part of the network and staking should be as distributed as possible. So the goal with deferred staking is to allow a user to have their staking privileges for those coins deferred to their own desktop wallet, or even on a cloud server, with their actual funds tucked away in cold storage or on the DNotesVault.
