The wallet system is different. There is no wallet.dat in this. There are two keys for every wallet. You need to protect both keys. It makes your wallet insanely hard to hack.

Hmm thats strange, whats the error you are getting? Are you trying to run it at the same time as BitBay? We currently have both using the same RPC port. Will change that later. PM me if you still have problems.

There is a document under new software folder which explains Halo. You will need to send coins to yourself since old wallet didn't have smart contract therefore it requires wallet.dat. In smart contract wallet.dat gets replaced by public & private key

2.1 Starting Your First Wallet
When you start a new wallet (file/new wallet) on Halo, you will be asked to create two private keys. The two private keys are similar to, but even safer, than having two locks on your front door. Each private key also has a corresponding public key.  

The public key is a key that can be shared without revealing the corresponding private key. Think of them like "fingerprints" for your private keys. You can prove who it belongs to, but you cannot copy the key.

The private keys are your personal keys, each unique and both are needed to make any transaction happen. You have the ability to encrypt/password protect each key individually for double protection.

Each private key has a corresponding public key. This form of encryption is what allows Bitcoin in the first place. It allows two-way cryptography.  Your public keys are backed up inside your private keys. If you lose your public key ".share" files, you can still use your wallet. BUT, if you lose your ".private" key files you lose access to your account and your money.

Awesome...a multi sig wallet! And the new website says that the marketplace will support BTC, Darkcoin and Blackcoin in addition to Bay? That is kind of rockin'...

Looking forward to messing around with it tomorrow...

Best approach is to run it on a fresh windows setup on VM. See if its crashing there too. Works fine for me tho

will we see 400 today?

400 today would be as meaningful as the 50 yesterday. There's simply not enough trading volume (yet  ) for the price to truly mean anything be it high or low.

Just as an update, wallet seems to be working okay now. Not sure why bitbayd.exe was crashing before. Sent my coins from old wallet to new one just fine.

Question though, is staking enabled by default in the new wallet? Since it is using a new wallet format I assume we don't need to "unlock for staking" or anything and it will just be staking automatically when the wallet is open? I have not had it open long enough to see if it is or not so just wondering.

Same here, there isnt someting that says Stake is 0,  or staking is off so thats a good one.
