Voting Guide¶

With Particl Proof-of-Stake, you can vote on various community proposals using your staking power as voting power. When you register your voting preferences during a proposal’s voting period, you’ll cast a vote every time you find a block.

The more blocks you stake within a proposal’s voting period, the more voting power you have.

Click on the Window tab at the top of the client and then go to Console.
In the console window, make sure that the wallet with your coins staking is selected in the dropdown menu. If you don’t select the wallet that is staking your coins, your vote will not register. Enter the following command to register your vote.
setvote proposal option height_start height_end

height_start is the block number when the voting period starts

Important

Your Particl Desktop wallet will need to remain open for the duration of the voting round. Every time it stakes a block, it will cast a vote in favor of your voting preference.
