http://dev.digitalpandacoin.org/index.php/2015/05/31/pandabank-2-5-annual-interest-staking-faq/Hi I just bought a few Pandacoins myself.
I'm now staking them to my PandaBank.
However, I don't know if I'm doing it right...
I just placed them in my PandaBank and that's it? Do I have to do more?
How can I mine this? I would like to mine some Pandacoins.
Do you have tutorial for this?
Thanks dev team!
I'm hoping for Pandacoin to succeed.
Your wallet needs to be unlocked to be staking
Hi i8,
Thanks for pointing this out. I leaved my pandabank open without noticing the lock/unlock button on the upper right corner.
But I have some questions.
It's quite confusing... as you can see, in the image here. The icon on the button says "lock" but when I hovered on to it, it says, "Wallet is encrypted and currently unlocked click to lock."
So does that mean that it really is unlocked? Is this the mode where I do start on staking already?
And when I clicked on it, the icon becomes "unlocked" however when I hover on it, it now says, "Wallet is encrypted and currently locked click to unlock."
So does that mean that it really is locked?
Sorry, for the noob question, because it's really confusing to me...
Thanks again for the answers Panda community!
Hey buddy, thanks for your interest in PND! In general terms, your wallet needs to be unlocked for staking (interest generating). You could lock it in general and unlock it when you are going to stake but that's a long topic to discuss. Keeping it unlocked for staking does provide less security, which is true for any coin, not just PND.
So to stake, you will want it to reflect "Wallet is encrypted and currently unlocked click to lock".
When that is the option you have enabled, the reason the icon states "Lock" and shows the locked icon is that
if you click on it, you are directing it to now lock. Not that it is currently locked. If you are unsure, go by what pops up when you are hovering over the icon in the corner of the screen.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have, do not hesitate!
