Found 2 problems with wallet:

1) Fully synced wallet will stay out-of-sync forever if restarted during one session. If you close wallet during synchronisation and then re-open - everything is OK.
2) Not synchronised display of stake in lower left corner of wallet and main window. Lower left shows you're staking while you actually don't.

And now chain seems broken, never seen this behavior before, chain can self-fork, but stop? Dev should look into this.

Seems like the Chain was stuck at Block 7746 as well. Actually it was stuck there for 489 minutes according to the explorer:

Let's hope it doesn't last as long this time...

Looks like PoW/PoS conflict, when coin network will start scaling this'll be a huge problem, hope devs know about this and are preparing a fix, but seems that this kind of problem can only be fixed by chain fork.

Anyway, waiting for devs' statement.

UPD: fixed.

 I loaded up a wallet yesterday and it went from click the link to fully synced in 3 minutes.  I opened my wallet today and it synced in a few seconds. Started receiving tiny fraction stakes a few hours after depositing coins. The stakes all confirmed. Everything is good on my end.

I can get sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windows-amd64 to work but just gives

[23:44:11] 107.161.95.108 difficulty changed to 0.250

The sgminer_build_HMQ1725 from your site wont use the blake2 algorithm at all no matter what I do.. ?

Only the cpuminer-hmq1725-win64 works..  any help getting my RX 580 Mining this..  thanks..

Fixing now I am new to the blake2s algo and was unsure of a suitable base difficulty, and as such I left it at its default. This would cause to low diff shares for GPU's and anything bigger then a cpu. Give it about 10-20 minutes and please try again Note during this change pool will be spotty.

<edit>
As far as I can find there is no available AMD miner for this algo yet. So mining with your RX580 is currently not supported. If you have NVIDIA you should be fine to mine.
I understand and sympathize however as I run 280x's and have run into this same issue.

http://l8nit3-miners.com, Why there are no payments? Next Payout: 00:07 EST, but 00:53 EST now... or no?

Please note that is an estimated time, however, while looking into the issue the payments seem to have triggered and sent. I am heading to bed, but will investigate further in the morning

Proof of Stake.. is this a joke?

https://image.ibb.co/c1nCkQ/Blas_POS.jpg

Or how do I choose what to stake?

I currently have over 300.000 BLAS in my wallet, and POS is giving me next to nothing?

What am I missing here?

How to mine?

Fire up your preferred miner with the following parameters (replace WALLET with your wallet address):

Code:

-a blake2s -o stratum+tcp://hexpool.com:5766 -u WALLET -p c=BLAS

It might be the miner software because my 1060 doesn't work with sgminer on blake2 ether.. but it does using ccminer. going to try some other miners later. btw isnt decred the same algorithm?

Cannot get staking to work.
Mining works fine, rolling in blocks. No stake rewards in over 12 hours of mining.
Green 'up arrow' states 18 minutes for stake rewards.
Is there an extra step necessary to get staking to function?
