Thanks Groko for your replay, I`ll give it a try..
I have had downloaded win wallet from the link on the first page of this thread, and it looks different then the one you use for POS mining explanation.
do you have the link for that one ?
You'll want to download the wallet here
https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/download/stable_0.4.2/YACoin-0.4.2.zipMake sure you back up the folder that contains your wallet firstOnce that is done, delete everything in that folder except for your wallet and install 0.4.2. You'll then need to wait for the blockchain to download. If you are upgrading from 0.4.1 you will not need to do this, but it sounds like you have a very old version.
As for minting Proof of Stake blocks, the only thing you have to do is:
First wait for the blockchain to sync fully - Then,
Go to Help -> Debug Window -> Console.
At the blinking cursor type: walletpassphrase YOURPASSWORD 99999 true
Replace YOURPASSWORD with whatever your password is
You do no need to run a miner or anything else to mine Stake blocks.
I will be releasing an update soon that will allow you to do all of the following above by just checking a box. It will also not have a timer "99999" so
if you want to leave it open for 100 years, it will continue to mine stake blocks
