Can I stake coins received as masternode rewards on the same address or do I have to send masternode rewards to a different address to stake? Because I don't have any minted coins, even though wallet says staking is active and coins are matured, wallet open 24/7.
Thanks
Yes you can stake masternode rewards, but since each reward is 4.2 PHR it would take a while to get a staking reward if you don't have much more than just that staking. As a general rule of thumb, many people have said you might expect about 1 staking reward per day if you are staking about 3,000 PHR. So if you had 10 masternode rewards (42 PHR) staking, that might be about 1 staking reward every 71 days. 100 masternode rewards (420 PHR), maybe about 1 staking reward per week on average.
It is also possible to get both the masternode reward and the staking reward for the same address, and when that happens the wallet will display it like it is one 6.999xxx PHR transaction.
Also, if you are staking with the Phore-Qt wallet, I'd recommend you upgrade to v1.4.5 if you are still running v1.3.3.1--there was a bug fix in v1.4.4 that helps staking stay active over long periods of time.
