How long does it take before it starts staking?

8 hours?

Can encrypted wallet receive stake or no?

Thanks whetherman; I think it would help simplify the process of explaining to new people.  This way, a link can be provided and any additional questions may actually build upon and create a constructive discourse rather than a hoshposh of posts that I don't really want to read.  I would like to be a constructive part of the community but I am not sure how much patience I have for people who are willfully ignoring previous post history in order to cause a scene.  If we had a closed thread that we could link to in order to save everyone from expending energy re-explaining then we could concentrate upon further ideas.

Of course, this would be in addition to what the BitBay team are already doing but I feel that they should be the ones who author that thread for official purposes.


8 hours is correct.  An encrypted wallet can stake but after it is encrypted you have to 'unlock' it (it will be the bottom option in the left side bar) and make sure that when you input your password that the box is checked for "unlock for staking only".  Give it a few minutes for the staking icon to recognize it...

No, it just has to be in the wallet.

Great. Thanks!

I don't think I understand the issue.  I saved my wallet.dat to a USB just fine.  The option to back up the wallet is in the same place as every every other QT - Click file and select 'Backup wallet'. 

As long as your coins are in your wallet and the wallet is either unlocked or "encrypted + 'Unlocked for staking'" then your coins will stake...

Not sure.  My understanding is that you would have to download the wallet onto the other computer and then replace the wallet.dat on the second download with the initially saved wallet.dat...

for sure!
we got a winner here, this dev got talent

Bastards buy high and sell low. Until i have all of the coins . Lots of people only want quick profit and don't trust in it longterm. But i do.

Yes, true. I even don't have the time to trade between 200 and 300 if it goes to 2000 anyway . But daytraders always trade until death .

Who do you think? Owners are buying their own ICO, and then selling it, it doesn't cost any money for them, so it is pure profit. All those Big ICO are fake. Will always crash. Look at BLOCK, look at MNE....
