The default is 5%....that is for every 100 stakes you receive five of them are donated.
A stake reward currently consists of 2.15~ xspec.
i personally have my wallet set for 50%.....so every other stake reward goes to support our devs and project.
I get one they get the next one.
You can adjust this in the wallet/client under options>staking donation
while there be sure your staking is enabled by the check mark in the box right above.
And Thank you for your support
Thank you for pointing this out. I saw the slider was preset to donate 5% of the staking rewards to ongoing development, and for some reason I thought that was the maximum setting, so I left it at that.
I have now set the donation higher. Our hard working devs deserve all the XSPEC they can get.
