if i set one wallet for miners and put some coins there, how it will work? i red somewhere that abn will be 256k
so if i have now
  "Command": "getabnweight",
  "weight": 26944.78025462963,
  "total_required": 18490

then i will wait until weight will be 256k? and then one miner will be able to find block? and then some tx spend my weight to 0 and i will need to wait again until 256k?
and for higher frequency of blocks i will need to stake more coins so weight will be increasing faster?


Yes, exactly, in about 250 more blocks the ABN requirement starts and requires 256K ABN weight in order to mine a block.

So basically in your example here, that node will just throw an error once per minute (when the miner is enabled) something to the effect of :  ABN weight not sufficient to create a block.  (Note that if we have a late block, > 60 mins, those miners who have insufficient weight will actually turn on automatically because anyone can mine a late block).

So yes, if you deposit more into that miner, then it will mine (after block 126,000).

Note one other very important nuance:  Your ABN weight will not be reset to 0 unless you actually solve a block.  The weight keeps being recycled as the best block changes and never
 spent.  If you solve a block, your ABN transmission gets cashed in inside that block and therefore your abn weight recycles back to 0.  Obviously if you had 512,000 in the mining wallet(s) you would have enough to keep mining while its recycling...etc.



Hi Rob, So it means recycled per block ? if the miner solve a blocks then next block+ with ABN weight turn to 0, how about the block+1 still have chance to mine ?

To be specific, the original vins that get spent in the block you solved reset to 0 coin age, but if you have a wallet with other unspent coins in it, that keeps your coin*age above 256K then yes, height+1 would mean the miner is still mining.

To make it easier to understand, the response from getabnweight would need to be > 512K so that when the 256k coin age is spent the miner still has at the very least 256K to continue mining.  As time goes on the original 256k would be aging again (increasing total coin age once again).  Best bet is to put more than enough in a shared wallet for mining, to get a feel for it and then look at the logs scanning for "ABN" to see if no errors exist. 

Also getmininginfo will show any ABN errors.
