Can anyone explain me how does the stake minting work?
just keep the qt opened, if you have stakes held for more than the minimum time required, PoS blocks will be generated with small amount of interests.
I have just seen with diamond coin, that my balance went down 3 dmd, and my stake went up 3 dmd, is this what it is supposed to happen in PHS?
Yes every time a bloc of PoS created, it will take a normal block from PoW (deduct from toal), add PoS interest to it, and put in stake for maturity, once maturity arrives, you get PoW+interest back to your total.
Ok, if i dont get any interest, then it would appear as if nothing happened, right?
BTW, if i have a wallet with which i mine, and send half of my coins to a friend with whom im splitting earnings, will the remaining coins count as old enough for stake, or the old ones (mined before) will be being sent instead of the new ones(recently mined)?
