I believe I read somewhere that user wouldn't be able to send payments from encrypted wallet while it is "open for minting purpose only". However, I tried sending 0.1 coins in this state and they went through without asking password. Can anyone confirm this observation?
Maybe I understood the logic wrong?
Oh ok so maybe I stand corrected. Only rpc on commandline is currently blocked from sending. This is actually considered a bug as the qt should ask you for passphrase in a future release.
Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed? It's a huge security outage and deters holders of peercoin from minting...like me. :-)
