Hey David,
I'm not exactly new anymore, but I didn't stake my SPT until I read your post. Never thought of it. I transfered from my main account to this Splinterlands-Account for the SPS airdrop points, but staking was not on my mind.
Delegated 2k spt to monster-curator and will stake as much as I can now. Thank your for the reminder and the detailed guide for everyone, not only for beginners.
Oh right. That's great you did that. It's important you get the most out all your assets.
Happy to see this post helped you.
