What is the process to turn on/use staking in the wallet?

Settings -> unlock wallet (tick unlock for staking only)
Give it a few moments, it will pretend it's not paying attention for a while after that.

They work a lot differently than traditional AV solutions (they are technically IDS solutions, as they monitor your machine at the network layer and are capable of blocking threats directly at the network driver layer.)
That and they're both backed by their respective vendors better than any of the other AV solutions, as most of the fortune 500 companies rely on them to protect their data centers, etc.

Sounds very good! That's the way all security products should go. The traditional signature based scanning and simple port- or application based firewalls are just not enough these days.

Anyone keeping large wallets on windows PC's should invest in Symantec Critical System Protection - google it.  Either that or Deep Security through Trend Micro.
Both should be available for 30 days as a trial.

Those are fine products as well.

Fortunately there are many good options available these days.

The only option missing is one that you could purchase with BTC... Wink

not sure I woke up this morning, checking my wallet and was going to let it stake for a bit and boom a keylogger just sent all my btcd to another address. Guess this will force me to learn  how to use linux.

its possible that you had gotten a change address somehow. Its possible, dump all the wallet privkeys, also  do dumpprivkey address_the_coins_were_sent_to in debug console.
its possible the address belongs to your own wallet.
So do that. see. Its not possible to crack wallet.dat unless your password was as simple as 1234.

This is turning very sci-fi! =D Agent stuff! Cool

Hi!

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. =(

As it happens, I'm a security specialist with 15+ years of experience of this stuff. I may not be able to recover your funds but if we're lucky, it might be possible to find at least some details of what exactly happened.

I have direct connections to CEO level people of several anti-virus companies and would very much like to have your computer checked by their experts. It may be that you have some known trojan horse in your computer a key logger would only log and report your actions while trojan is a more active malware that can actually do nasty things as well), but it's also possible that what you have in your system is something not yet known. If the latter happens to be true, then the companies would be very interested to analyze the malware and add it to their detection databases ASAP.

If you have not yet erased your system, please download the Emsisoft Emergency Kit that allows you to boot from a CD or USB flash drive and scan your whole system offline. If what you have in the system is a known malware, it should be recognized as one. Emsisoft's scanner may also recognize a yet unknown virus or trojan with it's heuristic scanner. This first check would be very important to do and I suggest you take on it right away. If you have another computer available, it is best to download the tookit using that rather than the computer with the malware in it.

I'll send you a PM in a moment.

Yours,

BitcoinDarkd looks for SuperNET in its current location and SuperNET looks for SuperNET.conf in its current location

Ok, thanks!

I'll check the instructions and let you know how it goes. =)

Here is an installation guide: https://forum.thesupernet.org/index.php?topic=190.0
I want to emphasise, very tactfully, how important it is to put SuperNET.conf in the right directory.

Yes, it would always be great to have some nodes running to test network scalability and SuperNET stability. PM me with the details Smiley

Perfect! Will PM you right away! =)

- Jyri

things are still experimental, so no guarantees about uptime and occasional resource hoggage

I'm fine with that! =)

I've actually had a very recent version of BTCD running on the seed nodes since December the 1st, and it's been working without any problems. Have you made any modifications to the code since? I assume yes..?

Where should I put the SuperNET.conf file? To the .BitcoinDark folder?

Yes I had 781 btcd and now I have 0. I checked the address it was sent to and I have never seen it before.

Sometimes, especially if you enabled "display coin control features" in your client, you sometimes get a random change address also created by your client when making transactions. But you still control it.
And it could be your client is staking so it shows no balance?

It would be very nice indeed if it turned out that it was only staking.

Ouch.
I still don't get how it happened. What did the keylogger capture? The hacker would need your wallet.dat to steal your coins, as well as your password.
