BitF-cli getnewaddress YOUR_WALLET_NAME

• Change YOUR_PASSWORD to your own password, 99999999 is the timeout period for how long the wallet will be unlocked, but is enabled for staking only with true.

BitF-cli walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD 99999999 true

• After unlocking the wallet for staking, wait sometime before checking Staking status.

BitF-cli getstakingstatus

• Results should look the same.

{
  "validtime": true,
  "haveconnections": true,
  "walletunlocked": true,
  "mintablecoins": true,
  "enoughcoins": true,
  "mnsync": true,
  "staking status": true
}
