Linux wallet closes about twice a day, asked in slack chat and it seems to be a known bug, hope devs know it too. Is there any way to ask pivx-cli to prompt for a password (when unlocking for staking) instead of typing it into the terminal without censoring (***) ?

What distro and kernel are you using? May I guess a linuxmint flavor with GUI?  Since switching to debian and command line (pivxd and cli), it has been constant uptime. Btw I guess that some devs use debian...

Then for your command line history : https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-clear-command-line-history-in-linux/

or you erase it all : history -c (total erase) or simply but a space before the command you typed to remove this one only.


I'm using mint 18.2 but I saw on slack that many people with different linux distros are having this problem, this is a bug in the client that should be fixed. Until it's fixed I'm staking on windows, it's 100% stable there also it's a shame that you can't type in a password like whenever you do sudo su, so it won't be visible. Deleting bash history is one thing but still it's visible while you type it, that's why I rather stake on windows until either the linux qt is fixed or cli prompts for pass. I hope they work on at least one of these things. Weird to say that stuff works better on windows Cheesy
