i need to save the whole dcrwallet folder? if i have the seed does i really need to save it as a backup? can i retrieve it anyway?
with some math you can achieve that the dev right now has the possibility to earn 25 bitcoin per day with his 840k stash in decred, lol nice premine
Please read this. Dev's coins are sitting still for at least one year, so they are not PoSing with them right now.
ah that's a good news, anyway... i've read on the web that you can vote with a pool, how it work? it allow people with low amount of coins, to have better chance at voting right?
also what is -- ticketaddress=XXX?, i've read that you can send your reward from pos directly to a cold wallet
In case u want to use hot and cold wallets or u want the stake pool to vote for u ,u will have to use this command. This basically gives the voting rights for the tickets purchased to the mentioned wallet address.
No better voting chances and all. It just votes on ur behalf. People who can't leave wallet open all the time and don't have net connection 24x7 can use stake pool to POS mine.
something strange, it say inserting unconfirmed transaction, and then 1 decred was added to my locked balance...???
Hi, I am very new here and I am setting up my PoS solo mining on a Windows 2008 VPS. Everything is running and looking good, I managed to purchase tickets manually without any problem. But when I try to set up the Auto Purchase option, I have the following output. What does it mean and what I am doing wrong? C:\Users\Administrator\decred>dcrwallet -u <wallet/daemon username> -P <wallet/daemon password> --enablestakemining --balancetomaintain=1.0 --ticketmaxprice=25 09:55:13 2016-07-18 [INF] DCRW: Version 0.1.6-beta 09:55:13 2016-07-18 [WRN] DCRW: Can't listen on 127.0.0.1:9110: listen tcp4 127.0.0.1:9110: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. 09:55:13 2016-07-18 [WRN] DCRW: Can't listen on [::1]:9110: listen tcp6 [::1]:9110: bind: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. 09:55:13 2016-07-18 [ERR] DCRW: Unable to create RPC servers: failed to create listeners for legacy RPC server
Thanks Ayush, It worked. But I thought I need to run the daemon and the wallet 24x7. Don't I? Or only the daemon need to be run all the time?
U need to run both 24x7 U will have to be fast when it comes to updating binaries or other maintenance. And hope u don't miss a vote in that time frame
This guide needs to be updated, I am running latest source code and many of the commands don't work...things are changed : https://github.com/decred/dcrwallet/commit/9535b3e78f019a802241a97207146b997b680c22 Thanks.
Hey there. Sorry bout that, Actually it wasnt updated cause we now have decred docs -https://docs.decred.org/ so any guide required is just present there with all the latest info.
Curious what bugs you are referring to. While there are of course bugs remaining in wallet software, there really should not be any issues with recovering from seed ever. If there were it would be the top priority to fix.
Just incase you didn't notice @jcv, the post you are replying to is from March 2016. It's still a fair question though, even back in those days I don't remember there ever being bugs with recovering from seed. I've never have an issue with it myself.
Not exactly a bug, but I was referring to the uncorrect balance problem. Which people were facing when they didnt wait for dcrd to sync completely first xD
