As a non tech guy who is in for the long haul, I'v learned a bunch about POSV from you guys, Thanks. I'm sure you can fill me in on my situation. I tried for quit a while to get a new wallet up and running before the official transition but was unsuccessful (not for lack of trying - to much teck speak for an idiot..bootstraps, dat files, deleting shit, ect). Finally,with the last wallet update it downloaded without incident. Of course by that time all my coins (1m+) were/are locked up on Cryptsy. My questions: 1) when does the coin age begin, when they are put into the wallet or when they were acquired. 2) when exchanges open again would it be best to stake my coins in one lump sum? I just keep wondering if all this turmoil is/was caused for the benefit of Devs and Major coin holders to get a staking advantage over the majority of coins in the system that can't stake.
