Coin Stake Maturity
With Lynx's latest Proof of Stake version, the wait time to spend coins has changed.
This is the situation where you are forced to wait to be able to spend (send) coins.
Coins have been deposited to a specific address as a result of staking.
Your Lynx client will restrict the address from sending coins until 30 blocks have passed since the initial deposit from the coinbase reward (staking). This will be about 90 minutes of wait time. This is much shorter than the several months of wait time required to spend mined coins from the previous Proof of Work version of Lynx.
"I just deposited 5000 Lynx coins to my staking wallet. I enabled staking; why has the wallet not started staking?"
You did everything right. After 30 blocks, your wallet will start staking, which can be confirmed by looking at the debug.log file on your computer. You will see a steady stream of stake-related output printed to the log. Occasionally, you will see a block your node has won, too.
