No if the time limit expires both parties lose their coins. That is what makes the contracts unbreakable. The risk is always higher than the reward and the communication is usually filtered and encrypted.

Blackcoin Poll giveaway.

Can someone tell me what happend with KNC giveaway ?

Thx

It can be, with PoS2 more nodes will likely come online to receive their interest. With more nodes comes more security. PoS is more like Satoshi's original plan of having the client within the network securing the network. If the network grows, adoption rates rise and distribution gets better we will have a very secure network that uses way less energy and transfers money much faster.

Wow lightning speed! Will definitely check this out too!

Very nice job for the explanation! So if the the contract expires you automatically get your BC back in case designer did not complete and did not cancel?

It's far less likely for a 51% attack as someone would need to be staking 51% of the current network which would be very highly unlikely.

is pos have more security than bitcoin??

thank you to the 2 bros above,,, i did it.

it works... i still see the green arrow on the bottom..

To seciure anty keylogers use that or similar stuff:
http://www.stickypassword.com/support/downloads
click OLD VERSIONS and take 6 i use it virtual keybord rocks.
Password wont secure you from keylogers.

when you open the wallet, go to "settings" on the task bar. One of the selections is "encrypt wallet". I always have my wallet encrypted. If you want to stake, you can go to that same "settings" drop down and click "unlock wallet". You'll see a little checkbox that says "for staking only" - make sure it is checked. So your wallet will be unlocked but remain encrypted. So you can stake, but you still have to put your passphrase in if you want to send coins (and say you get hacked, they would also need to put in your passphrase in order to send coins out).


edit or what maarx said 14 seconds faster than me. 

First click settings -> encrypt wallet. Remember your encryption key.
Then to securely stake, click settings -> unlock wallet. Fill in your encryption key and make sure the checkbox "unlock for staking only" is selected.

Good luck!

sorry,, i just wanna encrypt my wallet to secure my BC,, but dont wanna miss the POS coins...
can anyone teach me how to ?

for future there will be possible staking from 2 devices via blackhalo.
So that way some one will haveto hack your phone and PC at once to get both keys.

Today you can stake like that by using 2 PCs. via using blackhalo - but soft in beta still.
I am sure in future there will be mobile version of Blackhalo too to be enable some kind 2FA decentralized in crypto like with modern bank and mobile phone authorization..
David is IMPRESIVE DEVELOPER. some time and such security will be normal every where.

Now you can use free stuff from eg, virtual keybord from sticky passowrd it have free version.
This is anyty keyloger protection. This is next lvl of seciurity makes harder to gues which mouse is real.

sorry, i cant find the "unlock wallet" button,,,,,
i didnt find any unlock info in the "options" of the "setting" of the wallet QT.

im using the latest QT vision,,1.1.0.1

If you choose "unlock wallet" from the menu the option "unlock for staking only" will be checked by deafult.
That way you can stake and the passphrase is still required for every outgoing transaction.

can anyone teach me, how to get stake interest when i encrypted the wallet...
i like to get POS coins,, but afraid of coin safety...

BLACKHALO BETA TESTING REPORTING...

Guys make yourself useful and test this beta release!

I set up two computers in my home network with a BlackHalo client each for testing. I opened up two gmail accounts and tested sending some transactions from one client to the other.

Both systems with windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, one system has intel i7 950 cpu and the other system with the latest Celeron G1830 2.8 GHZ which has 3 Gigabyte R9-280X.

FINDINGS:
In both systems I copied the blockchain from BC wallet. The i7 950 system processed the Rescan.bat very quickly with the Celeron system never finished the Rescan.bat

The client on i7 system updated the blocks regularly while the Celeron system needed BlackHalo restarted to update the bloc sync.

Both BlackHalo clients shut down for not apparent reason at least once during the testing period, but the i7 system had more client shut downs while I was doing some photoshoping. No errors displayed during any shut down.

Finally when I closed the clients via File > Exit it would take about one minute for Blackcoind.exe to fully shut down. Only in my Celeron system the BitHalo.exe would sometimes remain active after the client was shut down.

Finally I deleted the entire data directory of the Celeron BlackHalo client and allowed it to sync overnight. It synched properly but the client failed to properly update the blocks while I was testing the contracts. Weird but something in my Celeron system is previenting my client from updating regularly.


You can report your findings here all in one place: http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/29xisj/blackhalo_10_beta_testing_feedback/

It is a fairly trivial feature, and we even made improvements over the original VRC design. If a trade fails you can return to it see the balance we hold and provide a BC refund address to have it sent back to you.

We plan to make a few more improvements as time permits.

If you are interested in finding out more about our upcoming blackcoin related projects please visit: http://blackwavelabs.com

Our aim is to increase adoption by making solutions for both businesses and average users. We see blackcoin as a stable store of value that uses little energy and moves quickly which is of interest to both merchants and average people.

We want to make it easier to send blackcoins, and safer to hold blackcoins and easier to accept blackcoins. We have more projects in mind, which we will implement as we raise capital, but right now Onyx and BlackNode are steps towards these goals.
