how do i know i am actually minting when wallet is unlocked? i have a positive mintweight but it says "you are trying to mint 0 stone" at the moment. and 0 in belowweight.

so what does mintweight actually refers to? how do i know i am minting?

Hi,

I actually have been thinking of better ways to communicate what these actually mean, for now I just wanted the basics to show, and they are more estimates then exact, but how it works:
Hope this helps in some way. If anyone has suggestions on how to make it easier, or want more numbers to show let me know.

BTW, for every 730 stones you have you will generate 1 stone per day over time.

This answer makes no sense and is not at all what I can see happening. Looking at my wallet, I sent 200 coins to it to experiment with 10 days ago. Stones, whatever we are calling these things. They have been there for exactly 10 days now.

"You get 100 stones sent to wallet. Each day you have 100 below-weight added (can see number increasing over time)."

That isn't what is happening. I started off with below weight of 700 (how it came up with that number I have no idea and no one else seems to either). According to you this number should go up, what, 100 a day? 200 a day? But it doesn't, the number goes DOWN. It is now down to 157. Actually, now 156 in the time it has taken me to type this. This is the complete opposite of what you are saying should happen.

"Around day 5 you have 500 below-weight and then it will move to mint-weight (you waited 5 days and can now mint)."

Again, this isn't what is happening. I STARTED with mint-weight. Nothing moved from below-weight to mint-weight. Mint weight started out around 20ish THE DAY I GOT THE COINS and has gone up since. But it doesn't go up in any orderly fashion, there doesn't seem to be any correlation to below weight, time, stones, nothing. It is random as far as I can tell.

"However it may take 10-15-20 days to actually mint depending on the network and the stake amount."

What does stake have to do with it? Yet another term included in the wallet that there is no documentation of. 5 days, 10 days, 20 days....which is it? And why? And when does stake go up? I have twice as many stones as in your example, have waited twice as long, and have 0 stake still. When will this number change? What does it do when it does change?

"So at day 6 you have 600 mint-weight and can generate less than 1 stone (will show as 0).
at day 8 you should have 800 which means you can generate 1 stone."

Well that may be how it is supposed to work but that isn't how it does work. I have twice as many stones as that, have waited twice as long, and have not minted anything. And my mintweight has actually now gone down from 87 to 83 in the time it took to write this. beloweight went down again also, to 155 despite not doing anything.

So yea.
