In order to stake you need to first encrypt your wallet:

To encrypt the wallet go to the Security tab located in the sidebar and follow the necessary steps. A restart of the daemon is required after encrypting the wallet. The daemon will automatically stop.

After encrypting the wallet:

  1. With the daemon stopped open the configuration file named eccoin.conf with a text editor located:

On Windows:

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\eccoin or %APPDATA%\eccoin

On Linux:

home/<USER>/.eccoin or ~/.eccoin

  1. Add this line at the bottom of the file: staking=1and save the file

  1. Start the daemon
  2. Click the padlock icon in the top left corner:

Enter your password and the amount of seconds you want to stake for and click confirm. Your wallet is now unlocked for staking. You will still be required to enter your password to send ECC. If you want to stop staking simply click the padlock again and click confirm to lock your wallet.

It is required for the daemon to be running in order to stake.
