Got it to sync. I have already unlocked the wallet. How often does the stake take to produce gems? Does it automine or do I have to do anything? I have about 50.
As far as I remember it takes 500 blocks for your coins to mature, it will start staking as soon as your coins do mature, I have a little more than that and it stakes regularly small amounts. Bear in mind this wallet is old and was made before things like Coin Control and Unlock buttons, so it's a bit more effort to use and less instant gratification, but a very solid & mature network.

I just got 500 confirmations on a block of 68 coins, but no stakes, it took like 6 days to get to 500 confirmations...when do you think I can expect some stakes?
