When downloading source, I always prefer Github.

This coin has few months lies at the bottom on Poloniex by trading volume. Would not this cause removal?

No think it will not be a problem. Poloniex will notice the coin-activity and knows it will give more volume in the future.

Joe could you pls check this?

Hey guys....silly question.  Is POS still functioning?  Minimal amount needed or anything?  Asking as haven't seen my wallet stake in some time.  On the new release, 1.3.0.0.

Thanks!

Everything running normal for me.
Staking and network connections.

Wallet unlocked for staking?

Thanks!

In my case, the coins should be splitted into 15K under size for staking.

Ya I don't have a big bag, just 13.5k...is why I asked if there was some minimum to stake or something.  Wallet definitely unlocked "for staking" but hasn't actually seen a stake since April of 2016.

you might want to try recombining the previous stake inputs into a single one.  This will help you compete for blocks I think.  13.5k should be enough to stake for sure

"Expected time to earn reward is xx minutes"

What is shown there?

On one server I have got only 14k too and it ist staking once every few hours.

Currently says "not staking because you don't have enough weight", since last upgrade to latest wallet am also seeing "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications", but assumed everyone was seeing same.

Not sure how to do what you suggested in combining, but thinking you mean to send all coins to a new address in the wallet?

Thanks again for the replies and suggestions!

How to recombine the inputs:

In the wallet navigate to Settings->Display and check "Display coin control features (experts only!)", click ok
Now when you go to the Send Coins tab you will see a button labeled "Inputs..." that was not there before
Click "Inputs..." to bring up the Coin Control window.
Now I am not sure how many addresses you might have but you will see a tree structure and basically you can expand an address to see all of the associated inputs.  It can get way too big sometimes on POS coins.
Anyway the next step is to select the inputs you want and then simply send them back to the same address.  They will become a singular input.

Now just a word of warning, you might see thousands of inputs under the address, sometimes when I can tried to select a whole lot of inputs at once it causes the machine to lag for an unnerving amount of time.  It sometimes seems easier to select 10 or 20 at a time and just repeat and repeat until you are finally down to one input.  

edit: and yeah actually sending them all to a new address would accomplish the same thing, you could even send them all back to your original address after that if you wanted.  might be easier if you have a lot of inputs under the address

[IMJim]

Awesome, thanks bud will give that a try and report back.

Much appreciated:-)

[Vin]

Just to test, try to send 1XMG (or whatever) to 99PYmgEuvi7sRTkUzVCxGCkQUHguhEbebh

It is one of my addresses.

Maybe there is a network issue.

Hey guys, I see several questions in the last few pages here and thought I'd try to help out a little.  First, cryptonit's post a page back explains most everything needed, here's a direct link:
https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=735170.msg17764471#msg17764471

Second - many wallets show up with false positives for malware scans.  Here's a direct link to Virus Totals latest scan results of the wallet:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/da02dcf645121778640e90f817a0ef161e3304f30ff3230100ab1fe14e4bb363/analysis/1486619948/

That's clean as far as I'm concerned and the Chinese 360 antivirus software has been labeled as malware before so I wouldn't trust it myself.

Third - the current wallet does have a 'warning' at the bottom that says it's a pre-release test build...  we know this, it works fine and Joe is currently working on a new version that will remove the warning, just have a little more patience.

A few pointers from my experience - my wallet stakes daily with no issues.

1 Sync the wallet with a new empty wallet.dat file - this will go quicker and without errors.
2 After it is sync'd, swap out the dat file with your wallet that has your coins and it will quickly begin staking.
3 A good rule for block size is to keep your stacks around 1000 - 2500 coins each and you will stake on average once per day per stack.  Use coin control to achieve this.
4 Use the conf file to automatically maintain the block sizes for you.

If you have a block of coins with more than 10,000 confirmations, or more than approximately 5 days without staking - it's already losing weight and might not ever stake, resend them back to yourself and start the timer over again.  Tiny amounts of coins (or what we call Dust) also may never stake, combine those into larger blocks.

Those of you with blocks of coins above 10k or 15k, if they don't stake within a day, they won't and you should split them up into smaller groups - that's been my experience anyway.

Once you are sync'd, use the magi.conf to automatically manage your wallet and block sizes for you.  There's several methods for doing this, here's is mine - it will automatically keep your block sizes between 800 - 2200 coins and those will stake on average once every day.

magi.conf
# Transaction under stake with a value greater than the threshold is being splitted
stakesplitthreshold=2200
# Transactions with values less than the threshold will combine into one
stakecombinethreshold=800
addnode=104.128.225.215
addnode=104.131.42.100

Hope that helps.

edit: Also what Jookly said a couple posts above about using coin control - learn how to use it to get the most out of staking and preserving your coin age.

... A few more notes based on my experience:

Staking blocks above 5000 coins is hit or miss.

Sweet spot I've seen is 1500 - 2000 coins per block - it pretty much stakes once every day.

When combining coins into larger blocks - limit the transaction to about 25 blocks per transaction, more than that will be slower.  Repeat until you finally get to the block sizes you want.  if you've never done this, you might have thousands of blocks of 'dust' that need to be combined and it will take a while, but once you are done and have the magi.conf in place, it will be automagic from that point on.  The wallet will also be faster once you clean up thousands of smaller blocks.

If you did have thousands of blocks of dust, consider re-sending all to a brand new wallet - just compare the size of your old wallet to a brand new wallet and you'll see what I mean.

If you haven't staked for more than 10 days - resend the coins back to yourself to restart the timer because I'm pretty sure it will never stake at that point.

Larger block sizes (more than 10k) should stake within the day, and I think they start losing weight quickly.

If you are also mining, don't forget to combine those small blocks into larger blocks as well.

Backup your wallet NOW.  And make multiple backups, in multiple locations, trust me on this lol.

Ya thank you much for the tips man, re-syncing now.  Never messed with any of this stuff with coin control stuff, thanks especially for that config file as this sounds a bit of a tedious task to keep up with!  I def have a good amount of dust as you describe it, probably will take the route of just sending to a new wallet I guess.  No worries on the backups, I think I keep like 10 backups of all of them lol.

Thanks again!!

thanks for the hints redrover - your notes certainly correlate with some observations I noted about staking. When I get a few more Magi in my wallet, I'll increase the block sizes and compare the differences.
