Info Bump
Please make sure your wallet is not staking while syncing.
put "reservebalance = 100000000" in the .conf keep staking off until you are ready,
or encrypt the wallet and unlock it for pos only when synced,
Enter the console command "reservebalance false" when you are synced and choose to stake.
Hi thundertoe,
No staking while the wallet is syncing. Would it be possible to code this functionality into the wallet for a future update? I realize one could be synced on the wrong fork, but it's less likely with checkpoints. This might help eliminate the trouble people have with unlocked wallets. I know it happened to me in the early days. It shakes your confidence.
Which reminds me, I'd like to discuss wallet updates. The wallet is working fabulous. BTW, but I see many nice-to-have features in other coins, which makes me a bit jealous. I'm not sure how wallet development proceeds, but if it requires paying a coder to work more consistently on the wallet, a donation address with reminders could be posted, or better yet add stake for charity feature in the wallet so we can donate from there. I really believe a dynamic, feature-rich wallet will help TEK stay on top. Thanks for your time.
I'm probably speaking out of turn here, but have you considered taking a shot at it yourself? Forking the github repo is a once click thing, and you could play around and see what happens. I'm not a programmer, and I've started doing this as I have time. Which isn't a lot, but it's interesting to try. And if you're successful, you are part of the development.
To my knowledge, we do not have a full time coder in this project, but several who are occasionally willing to help. Defaced, Noise23, and Presstab have all contributed at various times, and Tranz has reviewed code as well. I would personally like to see Coinsolidation have a go at it, and rebase it to BTC core if it can be done. He just did that on a project I'm part of, GameCredits, and it's a very nicely functioning wallet. I'm not sure how well that would work with a coin descended from Novacoin, but I don't know that it wouldn't either.
