left my coins in wallet 2 weeks, synced chain no problem, had 10 connections but of course like others no rewards. Bit dissappointed but went back to exchange
If PoS is not happening within a week, it's most likely overstaked; that is, the coin age falls into the tail of the following, which may not lead to a successful PoS any more.

There is a need to reset the coin age then.
We will get some easy tools into the wallet so that one can easily figure out what's going on.
Joe, what would be the best blocksize for maximum PoS value?
I can't figure this out of the figures above.

I now use blocksize of 1000 XMG (without splitting),
PoS reward around 1 XMG per 10K XMG a day. (4%)
