Delegate

The experimental::staking::delegate method initiates your node's staking of a compatible coin. Currently QTUM and tQTUM (test tokens avalable at https://testnet-faucet.qtum.info/), along with Cosmos/Tendermint coins are supported.

After running experimental::staking::delegate, you will need to broadcast the returned hex via send_raw_transaction to complete the process.

Only UTXOs of 100 QTUM / tQTUM will be actively staked. It is recomended to consolidate your balance into a single UTXO before initiating delegated staking. Staking will only work with legacy QTUM addresses (segwit addresses are not supported).
