just as a test i put 26 xc from cryptsy to my osx wallet. took me 2 minutes and 28 seconds. WAUW! but my walley says; not minting because you dont have mature coins, what does this mean? thx

You need to wait for a certain number of confirmations of the payment on the network before your coins are mature.

I can't remember how many, or how long this takes. Anyone here know?

and what does mature and minting mean? thx for your awnser

mature means how many ticks later a coin will "mature"... some need 50, others much higher or lower... all depends on the coin. Until the set number is reached the coins that were transferred are not "mature".

Minting is the process whereby new coins are created in XC. 3.33% more coins are created each year. They're created in the wallets of users who leave their wallets running so that they can "stake".

Once coins are created, it's still possible that a different wallet will process transactions in such a way as to leave out the coins you've just earned; this record of the blockchain will compete against yours as different nodes accept either your or the other wallet's version. Whichever version gets the majority wins out and all the nodes have to accept it. For this reason you can't spend coins for a while - until it's certain that your coins are well established in the blockchain.

is it true that the more coins i have in my wallet, the more chance i have of earning coins?

Not really. I think there is an opt number which I believe is around 50 to 500 per wallet is best. Much of mining is random too.... some times you might get it in hours, or some cases wait a few weeks before you stack hits.
