As I'm reviewing the thread I see several mentions of features that are not in the github wallet and I'm left wondering what I've done wrong.
It takes 8 hours for you to be holding the coins for them to become mature (at LEAST 8 hours). You have to unlock your wallet though or that will not happen. You have already encrypted it so all you have to do is click settings and click unlock wallet and put your password in. You will see a little box there that should already be checked that says For Staking Only. Sometimes **after you unlock your wallet it will take several seconds to show that it is unlocked** but you can either hover your mouse over the icons at the bottom right or just wait a few and the little circle will turn GREEN. You have to leave it opened a lot to get the wanted results.
Make sure you enable the "display coin control" option in preferences
I have neither of these options in the linux wallet. I know what I should be looking for since I've seen the clock feature in other POS wallets. What am I missing?
