ok I thought so, just making sure.  Thanks

Another question about staking.  Does cpu/gpu power matter at all?  My coins still aren't mature, but I do have two transactions that came in labeled as "mined"

To the Developers :  I'm sure this has been mentioned before and I know Shieldcoin is still very young, but I feel obliged to bring it up.  As an investor I think having a Shieldcoin website would be a huge step forward in solidifying support and trust in a single day. The numbers are just too good for this crypto to have a  < $100,000 market cap.  You've had my support from day one and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

makes sense, thanks again

Just noticed the little arrow at the bottom corner of my wallet says "not staking because you don't have mature coins"  (just transferred them in today)

Ok I did that, wasn't sure if anything else was needed.  I appreciate the help

Hey guys, noob question here.  How do I start staking my Shieldcoins?  I have encrypted wallet but don't know what to do from there.  Also, does staking "help" the crypto in any way?  Thanks
