Is it a good idea to leave your wallet unencrypted connected to the Internet for PoS? It just seems safer to rather keep wallets encrypted or offline. Wouldnt the coins in the open wallets be targets for hackers? or am I missing something?
You can keep it offline just need to connect it once a year to get your 1% :p.
Ok so you dont need your full number of coins in your unencrypted wallet that is connected to the Internet? So I can move it to the online wallet for the network to recognise and then I can move it to offline wallet for safe keeping?
Ok, you're kind of confused on several points here. First, encrypt your wallet! You can unlock for staking any time you want. You can unlock/stake in a way that does not allow a send without re-entry of your password. If your wallet.dat gets stolen, it's still encrypted and they can't do shit with it (I'm assuming you know what constitutes a strong password). Yes, if you're really paranoid, you can keep your wallet offline most or even all of the time. Staking is nice, though. We like stake.
