Once v3.0 is live, I want a RasPi staking 24/7, but I also might want to open the wallet on my PC if I want to sell some coins or whatever.
How would this work? Thanks!
that is working if the PC wallet is offline most of the time because then it sync everything that happens when u turn it on
if both wallets online same time its also working but it can happen from time to time
that u need to run a repairwallet in console to sync the wallet of non POS wallet with correct balance the tricky part is that create a POS block
is basically send coins to urself and on the way earn POS rewards
and the wallet that doesnt run POS only recognize that it gets a incoming transaction but dont recognize the outgoing transaction
the way bitcoin based wallets are written they dont expect that they have a outgoing transaction that in fact they didnt initiate by themself
we will special take care about this when we release mobile wallets that they can interact and be harmoized at their balance with the POS wallet if u use keys in both
for MN this is no issue ever because MN rewards dont include a outgoing/incoming transaction like POS MN rewards are always just incoming
and recognized perfect on all wallets even if same priv keys used on multiple wallets
if u use such same keys in multiple wallets construct u have to be very careful with transaction change amount
if u dont define a change address that all ur wallets know then the change could
in fact only exist in one of ur wallets
i think ur szenario is a expert usecase
a non expert user would just define in his POS wallet 100% of earnings send to his PC wallet which use different wallet.dat
(send MN/POS earning to a target address is a feature the new DMD wallet will have as a setting)
Thanks for the explanation! I didn't know you will be able to send POS rewards to a different address, that does sound easier...
