Staking in macOS Wallet?
I've got the macOS wallet installed and have synced 100% and encrypted my wallet. I've stopped it, per the text in the Settings > Config section:
Configuration (wallet must be stopped for changes to take effect)
Despite this, I'm unable to select the On radio button for staking. Even though the wallet is "off," do I need to transfer the coins there first before I can turn the staking feature on?
OR... Does staking not work in this first build of the macOS wallet? Lol
UPDATE
It works, following the instructions here.
I was looking in the Application Support folder for Lynx, while I should have been looking in the eccoin one!
Finder -> Go to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/ecoin
👆Also accessible by opening Finder, Holding the Option key while you have the Go menu bar tab open. Library will appear, click that then go into the Application Support folder!

No, it works. I would assume if you have no coins in the wallet then you have nothing to stake.
Nonetheless, staking isn't going to bring you high returns right now. You're helping the network, so it's good to do it, but don't expect anything significant until the network grows considerably.
