Staking Instructions
A few assumptions. You have a
- wallet (or coldkey)
- the wallet has tao in it.
One stake event every 360 blocks
You make stake or unstake to a validator hotkey once every 360 blocks. So a 2nd stake, or an unstake must wait about 72 minutes.
You can unstake from validator1, and immediately stake to validator2 since these are two different hotkeys.
