This is crypto, not something guaranteed.

NXT had a lot of issues with the wallet even a couple months after it launched. But it's working well now and the coin is going places, and early adopters will probably benefit handsomely.

The main dev here answers questions promptly and applies fixes in a reasonable amount of time.

I think those are good signs.

24 hours

You only lost if you dumped.

OK, to best determine my course of action I'm going to need some details. First, what time zone is the wallet on? Since your countdown is on London Time, can I assume the wallet time is also London Time? I'm horrible with time zones, so I'm going to have to convert all my coin dates to my own time zone in order to figure out how old they are.

Second, by "when it stakes" do you mean when the wallet shows an actual staking reward? Or when the coins first go up for staking?

Thanks

Does 0.99 count as 1 seed? One of my larger chunks got divided that way the last time it staked. Are you saying that if I unlock my wallet to stake now, that when I do it will for sure be at 269 percent?

Not that I disagree, but not claiming one's stake, when one has been given every opportunity to do so, could be interpreted as a decision to let it go.

That's good to know that BTT wasn't actually banned in China. The only other issue with stake claiming I'm aware of is people having their BTT accounts compromised. If you can at least read BTT, then you can know who to get in touch with regarding why you can't claim your stake, and resolution can be determined on a case by case basis.

If it was actually stated up front that there would be a limited time to claim stakes, then that changes my perspective. If 4 days was what was announced, then giving one month is generous.

The only remaining question in my mind is this: are there any possibilities that the ability to know what is going on with NEM could be for any reason denied to people who invested--as in the reason they haven't acted on claiming their stake is the result of not knowing that is beyond them simply not taking the time to check this thread? If the answer is yes, we should do all we can reasonably do to mitigate that. If the answer is no, then we should proceed as planned.

I agree that fate of unclaimed stakes should be determined before coins are distributed.

I'm wondering if I too should keep my wallet locked until the countdown expires. I do not know if my wallet had those issues, as I didn't stake anything after the switch to 100% POS. I just would hate to have that issue and see my coins stake at 1% right before the countdown expires and then have to wait again for maturation.

Another thing I'm a bit fuzzy on: once coins stake, do they have to wait a certain number of blocks to stake again, or is it literally 24 hours by the clock?

Thank you. That worked. One major thing changed, though. My old wallet was showing as staking (green icon and all). My current wallet tells me I'm not staking because I don't have mature coins.This is plausible to me as I thought all my consolidated chunks had staked yesterday evening (with the exception of the one I created yesterday). I was actually surprised to see them as "staking" this morning. Should I view this change as a sign that any issues my old wallet may have had (have not staked since we went to 100% POS) have been resolved with the update?

But I think it is very important to do all that is reasonably possible to give every investor every possible chance to claim their stake. We don't know all the reasons why stakes have not been claimed. I do know that since there is no email list it is possible to miss info unless one regularly checks this thread. If an entire country (China) has blocked access to the thread, then that is going to be a challenge for any stakeholders living in that country. We need to give them every chance to recover their stake. When they invested they weren't making a donation. They also may not be very technically oriented (as in attempting to use TOR to circumvent the block).

I don't necessarily know what the best solution is, but I definitely believe all these issues should be heavily weighed.

I see the issues with holding indefinitely. But I think some extended period, like one year, would be appropriate. It would probably best to work out details with a reputable escrow service.

How did you get around that problem? I'm trying to find that file on my computer so I can delete it.

EDIT: The only files I find with that name correspond to a completely different wallet. I don't think I want to delete another wallet's block index file. What's the workaround?

yes

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but have we gotten any farther than token registration yet?

Also, my vote would be to hold the unclaimed stakes indefinitely. They belong to whoever bought them in the first place.

I think that means you're really close to the front of the line, so to speak. The greater your weight, the more likely you are to find the next block and get the reward. But the longer you go not finding the next block, the more your weight increases.

Has anybody running 1.0.1.0 staked at 269 percent? I haven't yet. That's really the bottom line for me

me too. I just checked. Since everything is working great so far I would hate to rock the boat. But I don't want to miss out on 269 percent staking either...

I have a noob question: how long do recently staked coins stay in the "staked:" part and are not spendable or count towards the total balance? I've noticed they hang out there for a while but never actually counted blocks or anything.

EDIT: 120 blocks, right?
