Everyone is buying and staking, shortage of supply on bittrex.
I'm earning stake about once every 5 minutes. You can split your coins into seperate addresses within your wallet for more consistent earnings.
But if you send to another adress in the same wallet? Doesn't it affect coin age?
Yes it does, restarts the aging process.
Yes, I bought all my BTCD on Bittrex, then split them into 8 addresses.
I went to settings -> options -> display - then checked "display coin control"
I can control which of the 8 addresses I send BTCD from, so 7 of my addresses are free to age and stake.
