I'm gonna say that I have little idea of what's going on, but I'm in for the long haul

so onto the questions

I tried everything I could find in this thread, and it looks like it's working, but what's up with staking?

I understand it's not like bank interest and it's random but it says "you have no mature coins" and getstakinginfo has the -1 estimated time.

Well for the ones I have, they have at least 1000~2000 confirmations, so I don't know what's going on.

Do I have to keep the wallet on at all times in order for that message to say I have "priority" or whatever?

Or am I using the wrong version (it says it's 1.0.0.0)? If it's the older version, could someone post a link to the newest one?

I'm sorry if I sound like the other tools that are complaining about staking not working, but I'd really like to know how it works and if it's working.

Thanks!
