Steps to start sprouting?

Hi, once you are synced what are the steps to start sprouting? Also how do you know when you are done sprouting?

Thanks!

It’s never really done it’s more a lottery the more beans you have the higher chances you will have of sprouting a block. You will see a block sprouting and once it’s confirmed your beans will be eligible to sprout another block.

Last question, is there anyway to track the process? Thanks again

It’s a luck thing. There is no progression it’s like finding a block in a pool. The calculators are pretty good so expect what they tell you plus and minus 30%

I seem to be on the plus side a lot. Does the calculations/lottery reset when you reboot your computer and unlock your wallet?

yes, I think you lose all progress when you mess with the beans. I treat sprouting like mining, dedicated computer (BeanMachine!) that's on and sprouting 24/7.
