At this time, we have no reason to believe that staking is broken, as several reports and tests have shown it to be working properly. The estimated stake time shown in the wallet is, like most other PoS coins, an estimate and maybe you have had a bad string of luck. Happens to the best of us. Please keep us informed after another day or so to see if it has worked itself out. Thanks.


Thank you for the answer!
When nothing happened 15 hours later I've started digging deeper and found the source of the problem.

My wallet wasn't enciphered [Settings-Encipher Wallet].
Unfortunately everything seemed ok, with no error or infomessage.

Yes, silly mistake. On the previous screenshot there was yellow lock symbol missing:


So I can confirm, staking works.
I've already received tiny ammount of APEX from staking.


It would be great if the wallet reported wallet encryption missing. Because it untruly writes: staking, as seen on previous screenshot.
Or better to have some staking guide as SilkCoin wallet does [with more comprehensible text step-by-step staking guide than SC has].

Do I understand correctly that after successfully receiving staking money the staked ammount has to "wait" 24hours?
Must be computer running during all that time?

Thanks!



I have tested this on an unlocked wallet, and staking worked as well. Maybe you just had to wait a little longer? As for the staked amount, it becomes available after 110 confirmations, which is almost 2 hours. Hope this information answered your questions. We did not create a guide on staking because there is already a plentiful amount of resources out there if you google it and we felt our energies would be better used elsewhere. However, if it becomes a problem a guide will be posted as a tab on our homepage, and a section added to our ANN OP.
