OK thanks Sorry about the noob ? fallowing BTC since 2009 just unfamiliar with staking. But if I do leave my machine running on it will it still help speed up the transactions

Comment above Think your answer might be in previous comments
Ask all the questions you desire.
If you leave your wallet open 24/7 you should see slightly more compound interest accumulating, where as if you close your wallet and only open it once a day, you would see a slightly lower return. Not that much though.
HunterS, other people that had issues are now staking. I believe the staking weight and network weight may be displayed improperly.
I also see a tiny network weight compared to mine, yet I only have staked twice since the transition to pow.
Hope that helps.
