Title: How do I know my POS Mint is working
Post by: bingo5555 on July 06, 2014, 03:20:26 PM


I created my own altcoin by cloning from another POW+POS altcoin.  Everything goes smoothly except for the POS minting.

For quickly figuring out how POS works, I have change follow four variables in main.cpp & main.h before building this altcoin.


1.  LAST_POW_BLOCK = 100;  // POW mining stops at the 100 block   

2.  nStakeMinAge = 10 * 60;  // POS mint starts when holding coins over 10 mins

3.  MAX_MINT_PROOF_OF_STAKE = 10 * COIN;  // 1000% annual interest

4.  MODIFIER_INTERVAL_SWITCH = 50;  // POS starts at the 50 block


POW mining was pretty successful. 100 POW blocks created on my schedule.   

The only problem now is the POW minting.  At the right corner of my wallet, it says as following:

 
Staking
Your weight is 745276
Network weight is 0
Excepted time to earn reward is 0 seconds


One whole day almost passed, the weight is keep increasing.  My wallet still couldn't find a POS block.

Anyone can tell me how can I find a POS block ASAP?  Anything I need to change in the source code?
