In my experience, it doesn't make a difference. But, if you want a specific size to make your inputs, make them somewhere between 500 Bulwark and 1000 Bulwark. The network average is somewhere around there, and it seems to be working well for them.

It depends on what everyone else on the network is doing, there is no more precise answer that we can give you than the one that has been given. 10 different people will tell you 10 different things they think is the most efficient, and the information that could prove any one of them right changes quite literally every block.

5000 Bulwark, and 90.38% according to https://explorer.bulwarkcrypto.com/#/coin

There are pro's and cons to both, as we discussed when we decided to move the switch to proof of stake up by 6 months. The major con to staying as proof of work would be that we would have had to devote more dev time and resources to combat hash attacks, delaying development overall.

According to their posts on twitter, it is an entirely free listing and no listing fee's need be paid

Your inputs need to have 100 or more BWK in them in order for them to be eligible for staking. So if you haven't combined any of your rewards, you need to do that and then wait for them to have 475 confirmations before you can begin staking.

Well in order to give you a fix I need to figure out what the problem is, yeah?
If you go in to coin control, (To enable it if it isn't already, Settings > Options > Wallet > Enable coin control features) If you have hundreds of tiny little inputs, I would suggest condensing them.
Next, you say its working perfectly fine on another computer while using the same wallet.dat? Does the PC giving you issues have any anti-virus software or firewalls on it? If the answer to either of those is yes, I would suggest whitelisting the BWK wallet, or just stop using them entirely.
And third, now that the wallet.dat is safely working on another PC, I would recommend deleting the Bulwark wallet as well as everything in your appdata folder for Bulwark, and starting over fresh. If that does not fix the issue, then it pretty much confirms that its a AV/Firewall issue.

While the wallet is running but unable to open, is it using excessively high amounts of CPU and RAM? I've seen similar things when someone makes hundreds of tiny inputs, which would explain why none of your fixes are working.

Calculator is on the explorer, and I'm not sure what you would use other than the core wallet, but yes that is what you want to use.

We have no more of an idea why the market does what it does than you do.

We've updated the Bulwark Roadmap to be far more comprehensive and it's also broken up into quarters now to give everyone a better idea of our timelines!

Because Seesaw is still active until block 200k, the Spork just removed un-updated peers from the network.

I also use the 5$ boxes, they are the exact recommended minimum specs for a VPS. I've noticed that my nodes hosted in Australia/Japan have consistently fewer peers and higher ping than my nodes in Mainland Europe, or North America, but not so much so that they have syncing issues.

!Final Warning!

In approximately six hours we will be turning on the spork that bans all peers that are lower than version 1.3.1

Please be sure to update your wallets and masternodes to 1.3.1 as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience! $BWK

May i suggest using a Linux VPS and using our script? Our ability to troubleshoot issues on platforms we don't have official documentation for is kind of limited.

That said, unlocking the input shouldn't have any effect on the issues you're having. Also, just because it isn't 100% clear, did you update the node to the latest wallet?

Yeah, its sad to see a promising project hit the kind of issues they're having. Hopefully they get their issues sorted soon, not just because we're listed there, but because dex'es are a genuine advancement that need to be made.

You need 5000 coins for a masternode, and i would recommend reading our whitepaper or knowledge base for Proof of Stake rewards, specifically the Knowledge Base entry on the Seesaw Rewards system

Zpool and fairmine didn't update to 1.3 and forked off on to their own chainsa few days before we switched to PoS, and it looks like these are from that time period. If the transactions don't show up on the explorer, then you were mining on their pool while they were forked off. You'd need to reach out to the pool operators about some form of compensation, because the rest of the network thinks you didn't mine anything at all.
