I have a few questions on the above:
1) Why do we have to type walletlock, if we are about to unlock the wallets?
2) Do we have to unlock the wallets if they are not encrypted? My NSR wallet is encrypted - but the B&C client is not, so do I have to type the two commands (walletlock and walletpassphrase, etc.) for my B&C client?
1) I did this in case either or both wallets were unlocked for minting-only. When I tried to completely unlock the NSR wallet when it was already partially unlocked, it complained. So I locked it entirely, then unlocked it entirely.
2) I haven't tried anything with unencypted wallets...just too much risk for my comfort level.
