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.
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.
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 ;)
I have a question about staking.

How is it looking for you now? Have you managed to stake a block yet?

Still out of sync... I am on gridcoin.us and am going to try to download the 'snapshot'... I will see if that gets it going.
The blocks are going up... so it is just playing the waiting game i assume?
I have coins in my wallet! I am officially mining grid coin!
Thank you for the assist!
Fantastic! Best of luck, and sing out if you have any more questions. Either here, or in the Gridcoin Slack channel. =)
