Anyone else concerned that you need to leave your wallet unecnrypted to get PoS? I'd rather not do that. Does black coin make you unencrypt your wallet for PoS?
I think the dev should fix this.
same with every coin, just have to unlock for minting only.
That's not good. Hackers will be targeting white coin due to this :/
you're skeptical for no reason. minting is 100% safe when set correctly.
How do I set my wallet so it's still encrypted but I can mint at the same time? I'll appreciate your advice on this.
Your wallet should automatically stay encrypted while staking. But I'm pretty sure you can't start staking until pow is over in a few days. If for some reason your wallet is unencrypted while your wallet is unlocked do this:
To start Staking whilst retaining the security of your wallet, go Help>Debug Window. Now select the Console tab.
Type the following at the bottom:
walletpassphrase YourPassphrase 9999999 true
Replace the YourPassphrase with your own passphrase. (the encryption password) The 9999999 relates to the amount of seconds that you wish to leave the wallet open for staking. Once you have added this hit Enter. Then hit the Red bar next to where you entered your text, to clear the information from your console and that should do it
And having your wallet unlocked does not affect it's security. Just encrypt your wallet with a strong password, keep your backup wallet either on a storage device or encrypted folder and you should be iron clad.
