is the stake auto or i have to run minerd like other alt coin?
It will stake all on its own. Just open the wallet .
Hey, So to allow the minting of coins i just need the wallet open. I don't need to unlock my wallet to mint? Because it says so at the bottom of the wallet.
I don't want to miss out on the PoS returns
Yes you need to unlock it or have it unlocked to mint stake.
