So if I had 8mil Karma in my wallet for the last few months, I am assuming these would not entitle me to any Karma shares. Now I just purchased some Karma yesterday and now am at just over 13mil. So I will have to wait 30 days from yesterday in order to earn Karma shares?

How many Karma shares will 13mil Karma in my wallet earn?
How do I validate the number of shares issued to me?
