I received my 10% of Coingateway and am now at staking. Stake works, have already received some.

So everything has worked very well.

How many Blocks do you need for staking?

I still did not get my 10% and sent an email to them Im confident i'll get it though

Plus I woke up and discovered that the XC pre-mine address is nearly empty and that all the sales during those months were never made public to the XC community as promised by pizpie here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/XCofficialreddit/comments/26qqrq/xc_premine_wallet_made_public/

Now I can see there are bearly 6000 XC left from the premine that was originally-may over 140000 XC. Nice to see that 12600 XC were converted to blocks yesterday. Unfortunately this as well was not said to the XC community.

As was not said that 35000 XC were dumped on the high of the 27th of may.

Do you mind to make public all the expenditures of the pre-mine dumps as promised?

Thank you.

Cryptico, you are quickly becoming a very annoying fudster.  

Look here....

The premine wallet has 116 address and has increased to 267K XC

Just stop fudding.  Now.

Can someone please point me to an explanation of how staking fits in all this?  

Just so everyone knows, the wallets we're all using are interim wallets that'll run until the Blocknet tech is ready.

The Blocknet tech isn't a coin - but of course the tech hasn't launched yet so we'll use regular PoS wallets until BLOCK can be redeemed for NHZ assets.

Interest is needed to keep the network strong so people will run their wallets from time to time. Self-evident for people that have read up on POS and POW.
Here is a short summery for those wondering. Block-chain technology is a decentralized time-stamp server. The time-stamp can be generated in two ways, POW where miners generate them or POS where open wallets reach consensus based on PC clock.
When all coins are mined POW coins like bitcoin and litecoin will rely on transaction fees to pay off miners for their service of generating new time-stamps.
POS pays interest to ensure that those with wallets opens their wallet from time to time to help generate a timestamp.

This is why Blocknet has to have POS.
An alternative could have been building it on-top of another coin like NXT, but that's a whole different story of pros and cons.

I have to give kudo's to cryptico as well. That 10% was the icing on the cake, and if it wasnt for your critical eye we might have overlooked that.

Now, in regards to your critical mouth   I know you mean well, but in this age of FUD your comments are easily interpreted as such.
I know you've been with XC since the beginning, so I know it's just you and I don't care. Even makes me smile from time to time  
But it does have an impact on the newcomers to the thread. So it wouldn't hurt to try to express your thoughts into some form of constructive feedback   Good luck, i'm sure it will be recognized by the regulars
