1. Buy some TEK at the exchange.
2. Transfer them to your wallet.
3. Wait 30 days or more (the hard part).
4. Unlock your wallet (but don't unencrypt it).
5. Leave the wallet program running, unlocked, or shut it down and restart it from time to time, unlocked.
6. Wait, as patiently as you can. Within a day or three (more or less) you will see a transaction something like: 09/08/2014 13:52 PoS Mined (n/a) 123.45 where the fields are date, time, type, address, and amount.

I think that's everything - feel free to correct, everyone.

Edit: errors corrected. Yikes! Thanks, Biomech, for noticing. My only excuse is that I was being reminded that dinner was getting cold as I was writing the original post. 

Thundertoe,

Any updates?

While things are being recoded, maybe we should consider a total coins amount of 100 million or 1 billion.

Does this mean we'll have to wait 30 days or until your coins stake Biomech, to make sure the wallet is working correctly?
Will we still receive our 40% stake on our coins for this month?  or are we going to lose a months staking interest?
I'm sure the same questions are going through everyone's mind!

Thanks

Al pools down at current time?  DSync for sure, Central Cavern gone, can't find any of the ANN post listed pools running.

well, that would effectively be a cap on the 40% monthly staking interest.

Once the coin were to reach 100 million or 1 billion (whichever was chosen as the limit), the staking would have to stop.

I don't see how that would work. We all use Tek because of its unique staking.

Hopefully, by then, a flourishing TEK economy will give the coin utility and value. I believe the high staking rewards are necessary to build the community and will thus largely benefit early adopters only.

Rushing a fix could cause indeed havoc, so please take your time with this.
Worst part is that TEK owners have to wait, but on the plus the coins gain a lot of weight + interest.

To my knowledge, nobody has staked yet, and won't before the new wallet is actually released. It, if I understand correctly, will require a hard fork to get the staking going again.

What I'm testing is to make sure that the wallet syncs properly and is keeping up with the correct blockchain. The fork will be at some point in the future, and announced well ahead of time. Your staking weight will not be affected, and when it does stake it will be the correct interest for the amount of time. It will just be a longer than usual amount of time.

Thanks for update! I appreciate your caution.
