Hmm, well the unlock option is greyed out, so I thought it was already unlocked.
Still no activity since 5/1.
You basically have to wait 2 weeks for every stake.. if you staked once using a transaction ID.. and got it say 5/1. Then your next valid stake would be on 5/15.
Oh, I thought it was based on the age of the coin...
I had been mining since day-1, so have coins of all ages.
Yes it is based on the age of the coin.. but it's not on the absolute coin age.. but rather it is the coin age as determined by the transaction that it was last seen in a block. And what the algorithm does is compare that block time with the current time, to check that it is greater than 2 weeks.
Here's the code where it all happens. I bolded the relevant statements.
unsigned int
nStakeMinAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 14; // minimum age for coin age: 14d
// ppcoin: total coin age spent in transaction, in the unit of coin-days.
// Only those coins meeting minimum age requirement counts. As those
// transactions not in main chain are not currently indexed so we
// might not find out about their coin age. Older transactions are
// guaranteed to be in main chain by sync-checkpoint. This rule is
// introduced to help nodes establish a consistent view of the coin
// age (trust score) of competing branches.
bool CTransaction::GetCoinAge(CTxDB& txdb, uint64& nCoinAge) const
{
CBigNum bnCentSecond = 0; // coin age in the unit of cent-seconds
nCoinAge = 0;
if (IsCoinBase())
return true;
BOOST_FOREACH(const CTxIn& txin, vin)
{
// First try finding the previous transaction in database
CTransaction txPrev;
CTxIndex txindex;
if (!txPrev.ReadFromDisk(txdb, txin.prevout, txindex))
continue; // previous transaction not in main chain
if (nTime < txPrev.nTime)
return false; // Transaction timestamp violation
// Read block header
CBlock block;
if (!block.ReadFromDisk(txindex.pos.nFile, txindex.pos.nBlockPos, false))
return false; // unable to read block of previous transaction
if (block.GetBlockTime() + nStakeMinAge > nTime) continue; // only count coins meeting min age requirement
int64 nValueIn = txPrev.vout[txin.prevout.n].nValue;
bnCentSecond += CBigNum(nValueIn) * (nTime-txPrev.nTime) / CENT;
if (fDebug && GetBoolArg("-printcoinage"))
printf("coin age nValueIn=%"PRI64d" nTimeDiff=%d bnCentSecond=%s\n", nValueIn, nTime - txPrev.nTime, bnCentSecond.ToString().c_str());
}
CBigNum bnCoinDay = bnCentSecond * CENT / COIN / (24 * 60 * 60);
if (fDebug && GetBoolArg("-printcoinage"))
printf("coin age bnCoinDay=%s\n", bnCoinDay.ToString().c_str());
nCoinAge = bnCoinDay.getuint64();
return true;
}
