not to go pissing in cheerios, but 'most' keyloggers with their salt also monitor clipboards

I would say that's definitely smart to do. My concern is that if you have a trojan on your pc that's capable of stealing your wallet, then that trojan most likely installed a keylogger as well. The attacker would easily have logged your password.

use cut and paste. It's hard to log keys that aren't pressed. You could also use a service like lastpass to generate and store your password. You can also regularly change the encryption.

I have thought about the cut and paste method too. Not a bad idea.

Threw my new explorer code online for everyone to test out. http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/index.php

Its only a $10/mo DO server, so it looks like it is overloaded easily at the moment

Working on some ways to visualize who is staking what on the chain. Here are what my stakes look like at the moment Smiley

What do you guys do for securing your pos minting wallet? I've seen people only connect their wallets to the internet every so often in order to mint pos. Once you get to a big enough balance I can see this getting old as you would have a lot of blocks with different coin ages. I'm wanting as much security as possible, encryption isn't enough. If you get malware on your pc that is capable of stealing your wallet.dat, you probably have a keylogger as well. Here's my thinking, though I am not sure if it would work properly.
Install the wallet on a rasp pi. Load my coins in that wallet. Install an empty wallet on my pc. Block every ip and and port to the pi except from my pc and allow the chain on the pi to only communicate with the node that is running on my pc. I could see an attacker theoretically being able to access the pi through my pc, though this is the best I can think of. Thoughts?

I would also make sure that your wallet is locked with a secure password and then use the unlock for minting feature.

So have you put any thought into creating a marketplace for HyperStake? You could create small businesses out of it.

I have never had much interest in running that type of infrastructure, but encourage anyone else willing to do it to go ahead and try. I like to focus more on the coin code and blockchain analytics and such.

I hear ya, I'd like to also just work on the code itself and not have to worry about the other stuff. I'm working on a marketplace, when I get it up and running I'd also like to offer support for a few other Coins because I think it's important to build the infrastructure around multiple Coins and have markets for multiple Coins that can work together rather than being segmented all the time. The codebase for most coins are the same so then it cuts costs and time if multiple Coins are working across the same code as you can just pull those features but the real gains come from creating your own business out of it, creating use.

I would like to try out hyperStake. Where do I get the latest wallet? The link on the website is bad.



The official version is at github.com/hyperstake/hyperstake/releases

This version contains a patch that prevents the wallet from using too much cpu if you don't have mature coins. https://www.dropbox.com/s/032a8vdznzimlm5/HyperStake-qt-5-1-2015.zip?dl=0

I will have a new official version out in the next few days.

Two options would be

HyperStake on https://www.coinpayments.net/vote
Other Place would be https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/MarketPlace

 Cool

I think I'm gonna start a daily shill because I love this Coin so much. Presstab has done such a great job working on HyperStake that it deserves more recognition.

BUY BUY BUY! MOON MOON MOON!

Also, you should see if you guys can get a set of sponsored forums on the GetHashing forums, PayCon already has a set of sponsored forums https://forum.gethashing.com/c/sub-forums/paycon

The GetHashing forums are the second largest opensource community forums outside Bitcointalk, with a large number of technical people managing it.

i guess i am doing something wrong here my last minted coin was one month ago, and wallet didnt stake anycoin since then.

gguys could you look this screen grab and advise thanks

http://prntscr.com/75dbzh

I have a nifty little chart I threw up at presstab.pw that shows the weight of the recent blocks staking on the network.

It looks like the spent weight per block is anywhere from 30k -250k with 150k looking to be the average (back of the envelope calculations).

With smaller blocks you have significantly less chance to stake, if you bumped your weight per block up to 100-250k you would be more likely to stake.

appreciate your assistance one thing is for sure i cant compete network weight since its been there from 2014 and late party joiners will missed some cream for sure Smiley

nope, not doing anything wrong, you just need to wait. network difficulty is stupid high (40-50+)
