Re: [ANN][SHA]SHACoin - First pure Pos SHA256 based coin - On Exchange Now
i believe 48 hours, but i had mine since day 1 so this is probably why 
can you post what have you done in your shacoin.conf file and also the one in mint.bat ?
that will be helpful.
second while wallet is running, go to console in wallet and type the following
walletpassphrase 9999999 true
your passphrase is whatever you encrypted your wallet with, now wait up to 24 hours with wallet running, you should start to see minting
Should i let the wallet running for 24 hrs or can i just open it for a few minutes and close it?
What other steps should be done?
