Could you please add a one-click solution for minting coins. A button after clicking on which the wallet would simply ask for password to unlock it for minting purposes. It's easy to do it manually in the console but for complete noobs it's simply not an option. Some counter of coins maturity would be an advantage along with option to set aside coins one would like to use just for spending.
This would be a big selling point of DMD...
Cryptonit, these were my thoughts as well. Simplifying things for newcomers is essential. For many people getting to grips with using Cryptsy or sending coins is already a challenge.
People fear things they do not understand especially when it comes to money. "It just works" approach is a good one, people then don't have to go around the internet looking for solutions for their problems on different forums - finding out how to operate in the console. Most people are 'point and click' .. writing commands in a console (no matter how easy it is) is a 'no go' for most.
so my theory to be able POS more coins because lot people never go into minting mode is wrong?
From what I have learnt it is not the case. The less people there are who are minting at the particular time the higher the chance you have got of solving the block ‘mint’ (or whatever it involves) before anyone else does. It does not mean you would get more, it means you would get it quicker than others – which doesn’t matter that much if at all.
shouldnt we be able to see any dmd POS coins generated by checking the block explorer?
how would it look like?
I went through Peercoin blockchain explorer to find out just that, but there is no identifiable information that would say straight away that this particular coin was minted. First of all you need to know what you’re looking for – as minted coins are of small denomination. From what I have gathered, they do not differ from the mined (PoW) ones.
However, you would be able to see in your wallet that there are incoming transactions labeled as minted coins, the same as if you solo mined.
would be great if wallet dat is renamed to something a infested pc isnt search for at high priority
call it o12ast.dll only insider would come to the idea this is the wallet file
Think about it for a minute. People who write viruses would have ‘insiders’ knowledge and would readjust accordingly – by just writing in the virus code [serach for > wallet.dat and o12ast.dll]. What would make it more difficult is the random name generated wallet name so each client/wallet would have a different one. It could, however, cause problems with importing wallet file if you changed your client or moved it to a different machine. How would you know which file to replace?
or a wallet that can be locked and still receive pos, that would make me fell safer and im sure everyone else
I think cryptonit has already answered this
because of setting true u opened wallet only for minting
every transaction still ask for password
Indeed, when you are in PoS mode with encrypted wallet it does say it’s encrypted but open for minting. I haven’t tested sending coins while in PoS mode but I assume it works (asks for a password). Could someone check this please.
