ok thanks, will try once i have accumulated some GAS. For now I am happy to just see it collecting :)

ok got it - thanks!
do you know if the amount of claimed gas increases the amount of collected gas, too, or is it really just dependent on the amount of neo one has? e.g. i have 1000 neo and 100 gas. do I collect more new gas because of the 100 claimed gas units, or would i get the same amount of new gas with just the neo without the claimed gas?

There is a set amount of new gas per block, and you will get a fraction of that regardless. I dont remember off the top of my head, but just keep collecting, gas price is through the roof right now
