You missed a couple of things in this explanation for Windows users...

Second is that the new wallet is tagged as a trojan by Windows Defender (Fuery.a!cl) but this is almost certainly a false positive (or, I should say, it better be) so this file needs to be excluded from scanning....

No its %appdata%/TrezarCoin, to be completely precise. Try it out and type %appdata% in your directory-search.

Thanks for explaining this with the Windows-Defender. - We have already improved the false-positives with virustotal, still WindowsDefender doesnt like it. - Virustotal shows 0/64.

Huh, in all my years I never once tried the command "cd %appdata%" but it does, indeed, change to c:\users\\appdata\Roaming! I edited my post to correct my mistake.

As for Windows Defender, I have had to exclude all mining programs and most wallets from it over the last 2 months as every definition update seems to target mining more and more. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects this is because lots of mining rigs running Win10 don't bother activating it...  Roll Eyes

Speaking of the new wallet, I see it still displays the same cryptic data on staking (# of inputs, # of coin days, # inputs min age, etc) rather than provide a more human-friendly estimate of the time (or range of time) to receive a block reward from PoS. Are there any plans to change this behavior, because PoS is a core feature of TZC, yet it seems to be treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchild?


I support the request to change the staking output to a most common way of doing it, i.e. estimate of the time needed to hit next stake.
Also, I would suggest adding the false-positive check to the standard process of wallet upgrade as to reduce the confusion by at least issuing a warning on the subject at the time of wallet upgrade release, if not by adapting the code a bit to avoid triggering recognition.
