I've been running my client for 7 days now and didn't understand why I wasn't minting anything
How old is your coins? It generally takes 10 days to stake. And if amount of coins, or chunks are less that 1000 PHS even much longer.
Some of my coins are from 2014, I ran the fix / repair wallet stuff on the wallet and they came out fine.
I got 21 coins of interest on 1/10/2018.
I also bought some coins on 1/24/2018, so that makes them a bit over 14 days.
My Stake value on Overview says : 0
the console info shows my coins weight is 2935 and network weight is 2442167.
I have a 50% chance of interest in next 19 days. (per getinfo/getmininginfo)
I hope that helps with any suggestions as to what to look for. I do try to keep the wallet fired up most of the week to help out.
I'd hoped to see even a little number show up in Staked!

Thanks for the tip on having more than 1000 coins too. I'll be buying a "few" more to get to that level at least. Good to know.
