Minting with either menu "Unlock Wallet for Minting Only" or command line "walletpassphrase xxx 99999 true" is working fine.

Peerunity FAQs

As this is the first release, I'm sure that the community will have lots of questions about how it all works. As questions come up, we'll do our best to get the questions and answers added to the Peerunity wiki, but as it will take us a little time to build that out, I'll first add the response here, to keep them in one place.

Because they use the same wallet.dat file on your computer, both the Peercoin reference client and Peerunity are accounting for the same coins in the block chain. It is recommended, however, as a general practice, that you keep a backup of your wallet.dat in a safe place. You can create a backup using the Peercoin reference client before you install Peerunity from the menu options.

Peerunity uses the same port that the reference client is configured for, so that they can connect to the same network. You should not run the two applications at the same time, because the default settings will use the same data directory. Unless you're trying to run them both for a very specific reason, using different copies of the block chain and wallets.dat with different "-datadir" settings for each when you launch the applications, there should be no reason to attempt concurrent use.

You don't have to uninstall the reference client, unless you really want to. Having them both installed won't be a problem, you just shouldn't attempt to switch back and forth between which one you'll use. If you do, you'll likely run into a known issue.

The issue is documented here, "Changing wallet software from Peercoin to Peerunity to Peercoin causing DB exception", and will not affect the coins you have in your wallet. The linked issue report includes instructions for fixing the database version mismatch that occurs. We're actively looking to find a solution to this issue, but in the mean while, we hope that the vast majority of peercoin holders who install Peerunity will find that the added functionality and cleaned up user interface will provide all you need for now, and you won't need to switch back to the reference client.

Check out the future functionality thread on PeercoinTalk.org to learn more. We'd like to hear your ideas!

---

I'm proud to announce the availability of Peerunity 0.1.0! Binaries for Windows, Linux and OS X (10.7+) are available through the Peerunity project repository on Github.

https://github.com/Peerunity/Peerunity/releases/tag/v0.1.0

What is Peerunity?

Peerunity is a Peercoin network-compatible, community-developed wallet client.

The project has been designed to provide people with a stable, secure, and feature-rich alternative to the Peercoin v0.4.0 reference wallet (http://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin).

What is included in Peerunity?

New Features:

• Peerunity branded UI (new icons and text and content labels)
• "Unlock for Minting Only" menu item
• "Coin Control" functionality
• createmultisig RPC call added
• -walletnotify command added

Protocol Bug Fixes:

• New stakes will be displayed after a successful block mint without having to restart the client.
• When a proof-of-stake block was minted, the sum of the resulting balance (block reward + stake) was incorrectly being doubled when displayed through the listaccounts RPC call. This was only a display issue and did not affect the GUI or when getbalance was called.
• In the Options dialog, the mandatory transaction fee description was updated with accurate details about how the Peercoin network fees worked. Previously, the text referred to how the Bitcoin network's fees are processed.
• Updated compilation instructions for building on OS X (with MacPorts or Homebrew, for 10.8.x or 10.9.x)

Localization Updates:

• French language translation updates
• Norwegian language translation updates
• Chinese (Simplified) language translation updates

What if I run into a problem, or need support?

Please report any issues you encounter through the Peerunity Issue tracker on Github, or, if you don't have a Github account, and don't plan on creating one, create a topic here on PeercoinTalk.org on the Peerunity board.
