Wondering....I imagine you have to keep the wallet open (and unlocked?) for it to stake or does it work like Bottlecaps where you can open the wallet every few months and you quickly get stakes?
Perhaps even with Bottlecaps it would be better to keep the wallet open but it stakes so quickly and nicely just opening it up every once in a while.
All POS coins are designed so that your incentivized to keep the wallet and therefore a node open and running 24/7 to help secure the network.
Coins like caps, hbn, hyperstake have a max subsidy per stake, depending on the amount of caps your staking, you might be throwing money away by having it stake only once every few months. POT doesn't have that, so yes, you can open it once a year and get your 5% likely almost immediately depending the coin age, but your better off and so is the network if you can leave it open and unlocked more often to help support the network. Compounding won't be much, but it will help your coins grow a bit faster.
