Please answer the following the questions I have regarding the Asiacoin QT wallet:
I currently have my wallet encrypted and unlocked for staking, however when I want to send coins the wallet sends them without asking for the password. I used the "walletpassphrase" command to set this up.
1. I want it so that the wallet is encrypted, able to stake, AND requires the password to send coins. Is this possible?
2. I've also heard that you can unlock the wallet for a time, wait for it to sync, and then lock it again...and then in this case it will still stake? Is that true?
100 Doge bounty for anyone who can provide the solutions to these problems!!
Many Thanks!

1. Encrypt the wallet using password
2. Then in the settings choose unlock, type password let it sync
PoS should start today so after 2 weeks from today, open your wallet go to settings>unlock and let it sync...done
PS: Check my posts, there is how to
Thanks for your reply, just to be clear: In order to stake, I should unlock the wallet after encrypting it and syncing it and then just quit the QT?
I'm wondering if it is safe to keep the wallet unlocked like that, since you can send coins from the wallet if it is unlocked and encrypted without the password.
Is the wallet still safe if it is unlocked and offline?
Thanks
Unlock the wallet and leave the QT running. It will not stake if you quit. I'm not sure how long you need to keep the wallet open in order to earn all of your "interest", but I believe you should open it fairly frequently (every few days, maybe weeks?)
Even after unlocking the wallet your coins are safe, since you still have to re-enter your password before you can send coins.
For me, my wallet says it is "encrypted and unlocked" in the bottom right hand corner. When I send coins, it still doesn't ask me for my password! I did the whole encrypt first then debug window walletpassphrase thing in the console, but I still can't get it to be encrypted, unlocked, and requiring a password to send coins...maybe because I'm on a Mac and I have the old wallet 1.0.0.0?
it won't ask you after your password when it says "encrypted and UNLOCKED". you can click on "Lock wallet" in the Settings. and then it will be "encrypted and LOCKED". then it will ask you for password.
