Hey everyone, great work on everything and looking forward to the upcoming additions. Much thanks to the community and especially Halo and Soopy, bravo.
I'm curious about the new Mac update and if there is a way to download the blockchain so it all doesn't have to be downloaded again. This is a common issue that I have with several coins. There doesn't seem to be too great of an answer anywhere on the 'net outside of tech language which is out of the scope of new coin adopters, speculators, tech un-savvy folk. I was going to suggest a FAQ (I am not capable of writing it) about such issues that commonly arise with wallet changes, forks, etc. Written for the layman and for folks who are not tech savvy and don't know about add-nodes etc.
I am glad to donate!!
Also, since I have maintained a windows wallet while Mac has been down do I have to install my most recent .dat file in order to see the most recent staking rewards!?
Good work OC team!
edit: Also, what is coin control and how do I use it? Can I direct staked coins to a new address? Thanks!!
We have a bootstrap file with instructions located on the website that you can use that speeds up the download, use this path instead for Mac, "~/Library/App Support/Orangecoin/bootstrap.dat".
Coin control wiki from HBN:
http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Coin_Control. Basically it lets you choose what coins to send instead of letting the wallet choose for you. It's for efficient staking, so you don't mess up your coin ages, or it's for sending coins from a certain wallet key for whatever reason you'd want.
If coins are staked, they are automatically placed into the "staked:" of the "overview" tab of the wallet. They are immovable and unusable until they get all the required confirms. Additional information on staked coins can be found in the tutorial section of the website.
