So Device Team - Please can you confirm if this Staking issue has been resolved ?
I don't think there is an issue. Sometimes you don't get stakes for a while, sometimes you get a lot of stakes in a short period of time, it's all luck based. I've been staking this coin for over a month on a VPS and I've never had any issues or had to restart the wallet.
How much does it cost per month? The VPS thing.
