Some small portion of your coins are mature enough to stake, but certainly not all 4 seedcoins. 4 seedcoins would accumulate weight pretty darn quickly;) If you want to check your coin ages, go to settings > options > display and check the coin control features checkbox. Then go to the send tab and there'll be a button at the top that says inputs. Click it, and select 'list mode' and you'll get tons of information about all your coins, not the least of which is how old they are. You can sort by their age as well by clicking 'date'.

That will become less of a problem after POW ends, but it may still happen with so many people staking at the same time. There's well over a hundred running wallets right now, and more to come I'm sure.

What I can tell you is if you do unfortunately get an orphaned block, your weight will be restored and the coins you attempted to stake will maintain their age, so you'll lose nothing as long as you do eventually manage to stake them.

Which is the issue that we're going to be running into the most, especially from day 4, as there's just going to be so many coins that it's highly unlikely that they will all be able to stake in a single day.

That's actually really good to know thanks. At least I won't freak out if and when it happens.

Cheers!

I just checked coin control and it says my oldest coin is only from 10-8. Shouldn't it be 10-4 if I purchased from the ICO? Did downloading the updated wallets that were put out destroy my coins' maturity? I never moved any coins around once they were deposited into my wallet.

If you stake or move the coins their age resets. If you haven't done either, pm me the address that your ICO coins are in and I'll be happy to take a look for you.

Ah alright, I've been staking so that makes sense. Is it normal for some coins in my wallet to not stake for two days though?

Also, I've had some coins staking today and have had a few payouts yet the youngest coins say 10-9. Shouldn't they have reset to 10-10 if they staked today?

One thing's for sure: Evrryone still in on this mess of a project fully deserves what's coming to them.

Orphans are absolutely nothing to worry about. As far as you are concerned, they don't exist. Your coins continue to age normally and will stake again.

The most likely reason for orphans right now is competition from miners. They should subside when the mining period is over.

This guy is a pathological troll. It's best to ignore him if you can.

Ignore the Fud and can you help with my Noob questions please

So will the wallet turn pink once coins are staking? i have coins in the wallet that are about 12 hours old and the wallet edge is grey and i cant roll over to get the weight? is that normal?
Also in the send coins input tab do the coins have to be ticked to stake? what does ticking them do?
Thanks for the help in advanced
