If you're stake mining how can you see what's going on? I have the "wallet is unencrypted for block minting only" message but I cannot see any progress/hash rate or whatever using any of the RPC commands. Even getmininginfo shows nothing useful for POS. How can I be sure everything is right? (I think this is still very bad UI-wise)
Also: how long will it take based on coin years? I have >75 coin years, how long will it take on average?
Can someone answer my question? After trying for 4 weeks I gave up. The way it's implemented now is really discouraging, even though it says it's unlocked for minting I kind of doubt it if it takes this long.
If you see "wallet is unencrypted for block minting only" then it's already working. Have faith! It will give you stake eventually, but it could take a lot of time.
If you really need to see how this works faster, try mining some other coin with PoS implemented in shorter time segments (Hobonickels, Grain). I was also extremely skeptical of the PoS process until I got my first PoS coins.
