Do i have to leave my computer on to stake with paymetheus? If so do i leave paymetheus open? Also how often do I have to rebuy tickets? I bought a few tickets today at 99 difficulty how can I tell whats is the average for a given period?
Hey there, welcome. The answer to your question about leaving Paymetheus running depends on whether you are using a stake pool or not. Using a stake pool means you can close Paymetheus, otherwise you do need to leave it open 24/7. This is a good starting point for learning about stake pools: https://docs.decred.org/faq/proof-of-stake/stake-pools/ When you purchase a ticket your coins become locked. When the ticket votes, your coins will be unlocked and you will receive the vote reward. These unlocked coins can then be used to buy more tickets. On average, tickets vote within 28 days but can take as long as 142.22 days. https://dcrstats.com/ is a great resource that includes the average ticket price. Currently...
Pretty sure Paymetheus doesn't support solo stake mining and only solo stake mining requires running 24/7.

I normally only use the cli too but we were just talking about PM and tickets yesterday so I happened to be well informed this time
