How often SHOULD you stake though, out of curiosity, and why are there only 4 connections?
please do not cite 75 messages above you, if they are not relevant.
I have 8 connections to the network atm, that may change (I saw values from 4 to 8 ), the more people have their wallets open the better.
As for staking - please read the first page once again to understand what is the minimum age for minting and check PoS wiki to understand that there are some fluctuations.
