sorry to ask a newbie question, but I'm a bit confused. In the wallet there is balance, stake, and unconfirmed. I'm wondering what is the stake part for exactly? as an extension of that, when does the "20% per year max, if you have wallet running 24/7" pay out? as in, randomly, weekly, monthly, or every year? And furthermore from that how can you tell that your connected as a part of the stake at all times. I know you have to have your wallet encrypted and then open it up and run the command to allow minting or whatever. I mean, do you have to do that every single time you accidentally close the wallet? or you restart your computer? Just want to make sure that I'm not letting it go un-minting for any period of time.

There's a very good description of how it works a few pages back in this thread.

thanks, I found the post and it was very helpful. It explained everything.
I have another question though, you wouldn't happen to know how the ultracoin cg scrypt-jane miner works, would you? I mean in terms of the nature of the algorithm. I'm getting 200 less hashes today on the same intensity I was on a few days ago. does this have to do with the coins difficulty and something about scrypt jane or am I having issues? everything seems normal with my gpu.
