figured a little teaser of @figrolls ui wouldnt hurt
Ok, so now I have a question. How do you send coins from a particular address in your wallet? and in general how do you tell conveniently which address funds are taken from when you send them? It seems rather cumbersome the way it is now. I tried using the send from command but not being the most computer literate person I was unable to get that to work properly. A simple send from button in the wallet would be more user friendly it seems.
Secondly as far as simple upgrades, I would like to see a total amount in the wallet under the transactions section for adding up the stake or received with or sent to amount without having to type it into a calculator manually. That's a pain in the ....
I know these are not real high priority items now but sometimes simple features like that make all the difference for ease of use to the general user which should be a priority if the coin is to be mass adopted, no?

Just picked up my first couple of BTCD's. Would like to start a local wallet and open it up for staking. Noob question here, once I've followed the instructions to start staking do I need to leave the wallet online for it to occur or can it be taken completely offline?
You don't have to have the wallet open in order to stake as your coins accrue "coin age" regardless of whether it is open or not, as long as you do not send or receive any other BTCD to your address. When you do next open your wallet (and unlock it for staking) your next stake amount will include everything for your coin age. In other words, you could just open it once a week for a few hours (or until you receive a mined block) and you would receive the same stake amount as you would have done if the wallet was open the entire time. All up you get around 5% pa from staking, and of course there is the as-yet-unknown income that BTCD holders will get from teleport, anon credit card, SuperNET, etc etc.I wouldn't use cryptsy. Lots of issues with them.
James has problems with cryptsy too.
He said that 2 days ago. I hope he solved the problem with them.
Hmm compounding, but how often...?
Every time you get interest.
Assume we have 1000 btcd.
1. You transfer the amount to your wallet and dont open it for 1 year. Then you open it and stake, you will get 50 btcd.
2. You transfer the amount and stake after 1 month. You will get (1000*0.05)/12 ~=4,167 btcd. Now you have a baseamount of 1004.167 btcd which you earn interest on.
So 2nd month: (1004.167*0.05)/12=4,182 and so on.
Maximizing this means staking 24/7.
Besides interest you also get txfees of the block which also stake.
And you are securing and supporting our network with it.
Happy staking
But why then we dont't do compounding each single day...??

Spread your balances across several different addresses. So if you have 1000 coins put 100 coins into ten different addresses and leave the wallet open and you won't be disappointed. You'll get stake for each address about once per day. If you close your wallet for a few days when you open it you will get more for the days you missed. It trickles in but it adds up pretty quick if you don't move the coins especially if you leave your wallet open. If you have 1000 coins you can get one coin every 7 days or so which is better than a sharp stick in the eye, 1500 coins you can get 1 btcd every four days or so and with 2000 you will get a coin every couple of days. That rate may change in the future. I don't know.
I do not understand the point of spreading.
1000 coins at 5% is 0.137 per day.
100 coins in 10 addresses at 5% is (0.0137 * 10) is 0.137 which is exactly the same thing.
I have heard you get a little more if you spread and it trickles in more often. I think it was James who recommended that so that's what I do and it seems to work pretty well, beyond that maybe someone more technical can address that. I don't know.

So what would be amounts gained for staking with 1000btcd...?
1000*5%=50 btcd yearly
50/12=4,167 btcd monthly...??
1000*5%=50 btcd yearly
50/12=4,167 btcd monthly...??
I am not sure about my thoughts but as staking comes daily etc, by the end of the year it might be more than 50 btcd.
If you receive 4 btcd in a month, they will be added to the 1000 so you will be staking 1004 on the second month and so on.
AGAIN I am not sure.
So what would be amounts gained for staking with 1000btcd...?
1000*5%=50 btcd yearly
50/12=4,167 btcd monthly...??
1000*5%=50 btcd yearly
50/12=4,167 btcd monthly...??
yeah pretty much you can increase it by a bit through staking more often (instead of once a month etc)

1000*5%=50 btcd yearly
50/12=4,167 btcd monthly...??

edit
staking 24/7 will give you more, because of compound interest and additional txfees

I'm staking with a weight of 2400 while network weight is about 200.000. It says the time to earn a reward is about 1 hour. But I've been running the client staking for over 4 hours now and not been getting a reward. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Yeah, it worked! I just got .36 BTCD! Won't switch my laptop off ever again
Hello all,
Is there anything special I need to do to open the wallet on a Mac?
I have two macs, one with Mountain Lion and one with a fresh install of Mavericks.
I drag the wallet into both computers' application folder per the instructions of the .DMG installer, then click BTCD to open it and get nothing. No wallet program appears on either computer. Both computers just act like nothing happened at all (aside from a brief blink immediately after attempting to open the wallet).
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need to install something else or run a terminal command of some sort to get the wallet to open, like Homebrew, Xcode or something? Do I need to manually set something additional up?
If it helps, the Mountain Lion one is completely updated and so is the Mavericks one. The Mavericks one has absolutely no programs whatsoever on it, outside of the original, fresh install of Mavericks (fully updated) and BTCD wallet downloaded from the link on Page 1 of this thread. I also tried downloading the wallet from the link on the official website, only to get the same result.
I see the below items on page 1 under the "BTCD Config Section", but I am not sure where or how I would enter this information without a wallet open. Please help a BTCD newbie out!

Is there a potential teleport/supernetwork coin list around? Might be good to make a thread where we can post possible coins to add?
Was thinking paypro might be a good fit. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pro-payprocoin-643028

BTCD, NXT, BBR. Maybe i forget some.
And cryptonite(xcn). Cryptonite is the first coin that has mini blockchain, which makes it the perfect coin for micro transactions.
