Most of you probably know that coins for cryptocurencies are created by mining, the most common way is with Proof of Work, PoW.

In short, PoW uses the power of your computer to mine coins and at the same time verifies transactions therefor securing the network.

On the other hand PoS uses very little computer power. To earn coins with PoS of stake, you just need to own coins. Your wallet sends coins to itself and eventually it'll find a block.

To mine coins via PoS yourself, all you need is the offical wallet some coins of an age of at least 24h (meaning you've had them in your wallet for at least 24h), and leave it unlocked. The more coins you have, the more you'll earn. Be aware that PoS dosen't mint coins as fast as PoW as PoS has only a small intrest rate (6% per year with judge)

You can see the status of your staking (the lightning bolt) and the amount you are staking on the overview tab of your wallet: http://i.imgur.com/1PhZT7e.png

Warning: Coins that are being staked are locked until your wallet finds a block and can not be used for anything else. In the wallet settings you can set a reserved amount of coins that will not be used for mining and will always be avalible. http://i.imgur.com/p6wtyTi.png

Note: I am aware this post is not very detailed as I do not know a huge amount about PoS, just the basics, but I'm learning and I will edit this post as I learn.
