Yes. And how do you stake? I was going to buy some on an exchange now that I have the block but I don't know how I'm going to go about it. it isn't possible on the wallet?
1. Buy some TEK at the exchange. 2. Transfer them to your wallet. 3. Wait 30 days or more (the hard part). 4. Unlock your wallet (but don't unencrypt it). 5. Leave the wallet program running, unlocked, or shut it down and restart it from time to time, unlocked. 6. Wait, as patiently as you can. Within a day or three (more or less) you will see a transaction something like: 09/08/2014 13:52 PoS Mined (n/a) 123.45 where the fields are date, time, type, address, and amount. I think that's everything - feel free to correct, everyone. Edit: errors corrected. Yikes! Thanks, Biomech, for noticing. My only excuse is that I was being reminded that dinner was getting cold as I was writing the original post.  |

Or don't encrypt it in the first place if you are in a secure enough place, I suppose. |

While things are being recoded, maybe we should consider a total coins amount of 100 million or 1 billion.

The new wallet is being tested, I'm one of the testers. I figure I'm a huge cheerleader, I can be a guinea pig too  I don't have a time line for you, as there have been some things outside of crypto affecting the dev team. Hang loose a little longer, it's being fixed. |

Does this mean we'll have to wait 30 days or until your coins stake Biomech, to make sure the wallet is working correctly?
Will we still receive our 40% stake on our coins for this month? or are we going to lose a months staking interest?
I'm sure the same questions are going through everyone's mind!
Thanks

From earlier posts, I gather that the 100m cap is the number of coins in ONE transaction. But maybe prior to the official release, maybe the dev team could confirm this again, now that they're hands deep in the code? |

well, that would effectively be a cap on the 40% monthly staking interest. Once the coin were to reach 100 million or 1 billion (whichever was chosen as the limit), the staking would have to stop. I don't see how that would work. We all use Tek because of its unique staking. |

No PoS blocks have been minted for about 10 days. With everyone's help a few different versions of a possible fix are being tested. It is going slower than i hoped, of course i want a instant fix. I am as anxious as anyone to get it finished. I am still confident that we can get a fix soon. I am trying to coordinate this fix and help it along the best i can, right now that has been gathering info and sharing it between diff devs, compiling and testing.

I don't see how that would work. We all use Tek because of its unique staking. Hopefully, by then, a flourishing TEK economy will give the coin utility and value. I believe the high staking rewards are necessary to build the community and will thus largely benefit early adopters only. |

I can't speak for everyone but I prefer a thorough, if slow fix to a hasty one any day. I understand that some may be depending on this income but this is a hard fork and must be executed correctly to protect/secure everyone's investment. For what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing here by erring on the side of caution. Oh, and thanks for the updates. |

Worst part is that TEK owners have to wait, but on the plus the coins gain a lot of weight + interest. |

To my knowledge, nobody has staked yet, and won't before the new wallet is actually released. It, if I understand correctly, will require a hard fork to get the staking going again. What I'm testing is to make sure that the wallet syncs properly and is keeping up with the correct blockchain. The fork will be at some point in the future, and announced well ahead of time. Your staking weight will not be affected, and when it does stake it will be the correct interest for the amount of time. It will just be a longer than usual amount of time. |
