BTCBAM Wallet Staking Tutorial
In order for staking to take place we must:
- Have a transaction with more than 300 confirmations on the blockchain
- Unlock our wallet prior to staking (preferably before reaching 300confirmations on your inputs).
- Keep our wallet open at all times, otherwise even if our coins are matured, they won’t be able to stake.
Here’s how to unlock the wallet for staking only. Select the main menu “Stake” option to show the Stake page. Click the Staking button to the right, then enter the passphrase to unlock for staking only and activate staking.
IMPORTANT: If unlocking the wallet using Settings — Unlock wallet and the Unlock wallet page, the Stake menu Staking button must also be clicked to the right to activate staking.
Remember to have your wallet open 24/7, if you close it, you won’t be able to stake.
Please make sure “for staking only” is selected.
Access the console tab
On Btcbam, the console tab can be accessed from the “Windows” menu, as shown here:
The console tab is incredibly useful, although it’s mostly for advanced uses, it is a very powerful tool and can perform actions that aren’t really possible using the graphical interface.
This document https://doc.btcbam.com/commands/
explains in a very clear way how to use the console tab.
