Hi Tranz,
I downloaded 1.2.1 and I'm not having any problems at the moment (other than missing commands you put in the latest version). I'm still getting the checkpoint is too old error...
I just have some questions on how stake works.
Do I have to leave my HoboNickles in my wallet for a solid 10 days before the Stake: 0.00 HOBO becomes positive? Or is it possible some of the HoboNickels I bought have "aged" somewhat? Also, do I have to have my wallet running the whole time to receive the stake or just turn it on once every couple of days or so? In short, how do I know that I'm gaining stake?

Thanks!
If you removed the 3 files listed in the important information section of the release notes, that warning should go away. Its not an error and will not effect that functionality of the gui. I will be adding in automated checkpoints in the future, so these warning will be a thing of the past.
Concerning stake, you do not need to leave the wallet running 24/7. Doing so is helpful to the network, as you are an honest node, but not required. Once your coins age the minimum of 10 days, they will begin mining for stake. Depending on the coin size and coin age, your chance for stake increases. The maximum weight is hit at 30 days. You will know you are getting stake as you suggested the coins will move from balance to Stake. After 25 confirmations they will move back balance. You can also see what has staked under transactions, using the PoS Mined Type drop down. Most stake seems to be happening fairly soon after the 10 day mark. Some of my larger coins have taken 11-12 days.
