My congrats. Do you know the minimal requirements for profitable staking in respect of hardware? My wallet is on outdated notebook with Mobile Intel Pentium B950 and 4 Gb of RAM and I'm in doubt about its ability to stake.

Until Precomputed Zerocoin Spend is out (planned for next wallet release), it definitely helps to have a CPU with powerful single-core performance to reduce time to compute Zerocoin stake/spend.

After Precompute is out, CPU won't matter that much but it is still going to be beneficial to have decent single-core performance.

It follows that Zerocoin stake/spend processing is not parallelized and solely the single core of multi-core CPU will be involved even after precompute is out. So there is no use in modern 4-8 cores CPUs, 2 cores will be enough. Is that correct? I'm just trying to figure out for myself if it's worth spending the money to get sophisticated CPU for staking purpose.
