I staked a bunch and wonder if it gains more when i add staking=1 to the conf file...
Is it btw Deviant.conf or deviant.conf?
Staking is based on how many coins you have in your wallet and their weight vs the network weight. Staking=1 only helps you make sure you are staking, it doesn't affect the amount or weight of your coin.
I also wanted to add that my wallet was staking fine without the staking=1 in my config file. But it may help if you have done everything correct and it still does not stake.
