This thread has died out because of various incidents and I think it would be a good thing to start a new clean moderated version that would focus on the future of the project.
Good idea!
As someone who is new to heat, I would not mind that.
All coins attract comments that aren't helpful. I'd prefer a discussion of the coin, rather than hyping or so called "fudding".
Moderated threads on BCT always look sketchy to me, because there's no public record of what the moderator is allowing and what they are deleting. Most projects with a lot of investors on BCT have unmoderated threads with 200+ pages filled with ~50% crap that no one bothers to go back and read through anyways.
I like BCT as a free speech message board. People can go to slack or heat forum if they want moderated discussion:
https://heatslack.herokuapp.com/http://heatledger.net/I just do not see any common sense in an unmoderated thread filled with filth. Critisism and issues can be lift up to be discussed, but it should be done in a proper manner.
This unmoderated thread does have a lot more trolling than the average thread. If you put stewieg/memberberry on ignore, then all the giant red letters disappear.
So, about creating a new wallet. Do i just need to chose a new, decently long, secret phrase and that's it? That's gonna be my wallet linked to my phrase forever / on other devices (i.e. doing the wallet backup requires me just to print the phrase).
How can i find out if my wallet is synched or not?
Yes that all thats needed for now. The wallet wont be registered on the network until it has been included in a transaction.
There are some improvements on the way to increase wallet security.
As far as I know all wallets are lightwallets at the moment, so they should be synched almost instantly. You can run the server through the wallet, but it doesnt run the wallet of the local server. It might be possible to do but I dont know how.
There are currently some network issues and an updated wallet should be out today. I would advise you to avoid making any major transfers until we have the new wallet.
Correct, the wallet system works similar to NXT. All wallets are brainwallets, so you just have to invent a secure passphrase and it should lead to the same account every time. However, you must make a send transaction from the account in order to increase the security from 64 bits to 256 bits by attaching a public key to the account in the blockchain.
