I have left my wallet open for over a day but the coins still don't go into the stake section?? any ideas ??
Is your wallet also unlocked ?
How do I check that? Some coins go into stake and then when I receive something say from the exchange, ALL the coins go back into the "spendable" section ?
Any coins you have in your wallet must be in there for more that 1 day for them to be used in the staking process.
- Firstly make sure you encrypt your wallet, the button on the bottom right will tell you of your wallet is not encrypted. It will look like this

- Encrypt if necessary, and restart the wallet.
- Simply press the Unlock Wallet button, enter your password then leave it in that state so that your coins of 1 day older will go into staking. When your wallet is in this state, hover your mouse over the green icon on the botton right of the wallet to give you more information on your staking weight and times.
