I have a question about staking.
My Cpid is recognized as I sent out a beacon...
I have an encrypted passphrase and I just have no idea where to find my config file so that I can unlock the wallet for staking.
There is lots of info on doing this... but I cannot find out where my config file actually is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You can find your config file under:
...\AppData\Roaming\GridcoinResearch
This is also where your wallet.dat file is kept, which you should back up regularly just to be safe.
That being said, several users have been having problems getting their wallet to unlock automatically. I have not delved into this, so cannot elaborate, but you may just want to unlock it manually for the time being. You can do that straight from the GUI overview page.
Alright! The wallet has been unlocked for staking for a few days... It is showing that I have a magnitude (which is a good thing... and it has been going up... which is a good thing.) I have a stakeweight in the "client messages"... so I assume it is just a waiting game until I actually see something come my way. Thanks for all your help.
How is it looking for you now? Have you managed to stake a block yet?
not yet... patiently/eagerly waiting. My magnitude is still climbing (slowly now) and it is showing a stakeweight at the bottom.... any minute I am sure ;)
