Mine staked again today.

I have never gotten it to stake. Could you explain what you did step for step? Please?
Here's what I have done:
Download latest flavoured wallet
Backup wallet.dat
Close wallet
extract sync-qt from zipfile
delete old sync qt
start new sync wallet
make sure anti-virus/firewall doesn't block connection
I had to close my wallet twice to get it to sync, no problems since.
Here is my sync.conf
server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=24240
addnode=107.170.124.180
addnode=192.241.240.216
addnode=107.170.159.98
I have not used the bootstrap. As far as staking goes, I leave my wallet running 24/7 unlocked for staking. I've had 3 stakes in 2 days. Hope that helps.
Not bad hashrate AMD, but nVidia gtx 750ti's do 2.2 mh/s under 40 watts.
I did it your method and it looks promising.
Question: How can i make sure that my wallet is unlocked? If i do need to unlock it, how do i do that?
